If you watch the unboxing videos on YouTube, the ones made by independent
reviewers (real people, not advertisements), you can tell what performs
well and what doesn't.  The 1Ghz processors are pretty good.  Even the
800Mhz is still good, but the 1.2Ggz  8" Herotab MID816 seems to be one of
the fastest at startup from a cold boot (about 15 seconds -vs- 45 to 60
seconds on most).
