UI ideas/questions or can we animate things as smooth as iPhone?

Hi,
We should try different options, do some serious benchmarks and based on
the results we could choose the best solution.
Some options would be:
- X11/GTK
- X11/EFL
- DirectFB/GTK
- DirectFB/EFL
Both, GTK and EFL, have backends for X11 and DirectFB, so running demos
and apps shouldn't be a problem.
Running DirectFB/GTK works fine in embedded systems, I used it in a
PNX8550 processor, but the Neo's processor doesn't have that processing
power...
According to the ELF doc, the Evas library with DirectFB backend is
designed with embedded systems in mind, but I haven't tested it. At least
in the i386 platform works great.
One real problem I see is that for making some benchmarking we need the
real hardware, an emulator wouldn't be reliable.
Regards,
