I have a Eee-PC 900, with a Celeron.  It is theoretically faster than
the atom based ones, but I've found that when I start compiling, the
processor starts pausing (probably thermal), and the whole UI also has
these same pauses.  It compiles small things fine, but build something
large, like Racket itself, and expect it to not be very usable while
it is building.

I would expect the Atom to have better thermal properties, though,
although it is slower overall.
