Since I'm getting the ol' Axim set back up, I ran some benchmarks to see which version of the GAPI driver I wanted to load. If anyone is interested in seeing the differences, here are my results with the original, v1.1, and v2.0a drivers on the X50v:
Benchmark Test Bed:
Axim X50v, 128mb RAM (PPC Techs Upgrade), WM2003SE A05 ROM, Hard Reset, plus the following installed: CAB Installer, XCPU Scalar 2007 (no background processes enabled), Sktools 4.4.5.1 (also no background processes enabled), .NET v3.5 Compact Framework,
SPB Benchmark v1.6, Dynamix3D Benchmark v1.0b , GAPI Benchmark 2.0, CPU Set to Max (624MHz), No Screen dims or auto-offs, +Soft Resets after each test or setting change.

The GAPI Benchmark 2.0 would not run any tests with the enhanced drivers, but the Dynamix3D and SPB benchmarks saw the improvements.
