I don't really notice it being "slow" because it's always been like that, I got bored of losing data in RAM (and because it's old and USB 1.1, it's very slow to restore). I'm all for persistant storage, and if they release a flash-based device in future I might actually use that as an excuse to upgrade. I suspect however they'll use this as a good opportunity to core you further with high speed CPUs, returning the same real-world battery life with more fruit.
