Measured poorly, I get around 20fps, but that's with not really trying
for a good frame rate. (Numbers based on bouncing a few sprites round the 
screen, and not doing anything particularly intelligent)

Things like quake for example run at an acceptable frame rate. (But then the 
CPU speed of the GP2X is similar to the desktop CPU I had when quake was 
released, so maybe that's not surprising).

Video playback is pretty acceptable too.
