This sounds like great news. I am really curious how much faster can  
Webkit really be on the XO.

I will test when I have time. Currently I want to complete the GUI, do the  
packaging and generate the jsdoc pages for PaintWeb - all for the purpose  
of being ready to do the actual Moodle integration as soon as possible.

Thanks for the email - this is going to be something quite important on  
the XO.


Best regards,
Mihai
