Rockbox is now lately a multi-platform project, which adds a lot of
responsibility to all of us.

I'd find it most frustrating to optimize a feature behind somebody, than
taking constraints considerations into the architecture firstplace.
Like with PC coding: If something runs sufficiently on my multi-mega
developer machine, it may still cause frustrations for the people out there
with weaker platforms.

I just tried to advertize more awareness. The Archoses are not thrown away.
