Ok, so there are really some weird things with my palmtop.

I got a newer VOBenchmark 3.0 (and hacked my first ARM program in about 10 minutes to avoid installing those ads :-\) and also changed the CPU setting to "always 400MHz" (it was Auto in my previous test). The results, however, stayed almost the same (actually the BitBlt test was a little quicker - 28.23 parrots). Here are updated values for my palmtop with VOBenchmark 3.0:

CPU: FP 12.70/INT 26.94
Graphics: BitBlt 28.23, StretchGrow 8.10, Shrink 5.30
Filled: rectangle 4.90; ellipse 1.88; rounded 1.60
GAPI: Max FPS 47.528; Max Sprites 116
Lines: 35.40
Text: 3.50 (tried with and without ClearText - no difference)
Memory: allocation 11.33; fill 2.0; move 1.34

So here are some weird things that are visible at the first glance:
a) CPU and memory on our palmtops performs equally fast (so all claims that A04 has slow MEMORY performance are absolutely WRONG!)
b) GAPI performs equally fast on both palmtops.
c) BitBlt is almost twice slower
d) Filled things are twice slower
e) Drawing lines is FOUR TIMES slower
f) Drawing text is FIVE TIMES slower

wow, what a difference! Now could someone with PPC 2003 A04 post his results here, so that I can see I have a broken OS (surprise! :-|) and not a broken palmtop!
