If you got an Eifka with only 128mb ram.. I do beleave that he's right, that is to limited for daily use in my opinion.

The 128MB on the Efika are okay for much. Okay, the fancy stuff like Layers3D is better off with a bit more RAM. But even with  L3D enabled there's much to do with the Efika. Of course you hit a limit when you have Sputnik with dozens of tabs open. But if you think a bit about your resources the 128MB aren't a really big disadvantage. While of course no Teraflop-supercomputer, the Efika w/ MorphOS 2 is a really nice package.

MorphOS on the Efika is no comparision to a lightweight Linux on the Efika. MorphOS on the Efika just flies.
Of course it cannot generate more cpu cycles from the cpu as there are, but it uses the cpu cycles pretty efficient.
The subjective speed on the Efika with MorphOS is close to the subjective speed of MorphOS on the Pegasos1, though the better ide interface of the Pegasos and the more powerful cpu coes into play when stressed more.
MorphOS on Efika feels some times faster than MorphOS on the Blizzard 603/200 ever felt and also it feels ways faster than WinUAE on my 2.6 GHz maschine.
