  Gnash star6ed it's life running on embedded devices, and we've done
"ports" to several devices like the Sharp Zaurus, OpenMoko, Android, etc...

  It depends on what you want to do. I've run Gnash on as low as 200Mhz
processors, but it could only handle simple animations. around 400Mhz
you can start to handle video (if you have to do software rendering),
but it won't be great. Add hardware acceleration support, then video
works much better. Without trying to do YouTube, most animations, user
interfaces, etc... work fine on anything past 400Mhz.

  There is lots of room for optimizing Gnash, we haven't had the time or
funding to do it.
