x-scale performance under normal usage

[spursdude]

I've been hearing all of these benchmark numbers of the new X-Scale devices (frankly, I don't understand a lot of them). However, instead of raw numbers, does anybody have any reports as to how these X-Scale PPC's perform under normal use? For example, 206mhz ARM PPCs often lag quite a bit when running windows media player or reader in the background. Are things like this still noticeable with the X-Scale? Thanks.
