Since data store performance directly impacts user experience, direct testing on the XO-1.5 with the built-in MicroSD card (=> slow write performance [5] in general, potentially write amplification effect) would be very useful. Additionally I'm -- as Bernie Innocenti phrased it -- "hacking all over the place", including kernel and hardware work. My offer to diagnose & repair XOs (keeping in mind that I don't have advanced equipment like a scope - got everything list for the Repair Center Kit [21], though) still holds as well.
