<snip monster URLs> Just to save others a bit of time: The summary from that lot is that hardfp is about 4% faster on average (between 0 and 11% on various tests). So definitely faster for real-world stuff, but 4% won't justify a new port from Debian's POV. > I also ran the Peacekeeper [1] on the system, this is very simplistic, and > produces only a score.

It would be interesting to test on some other hardware too, as A8 is expected to be the hardware where this makes the most difference, right?
