Subject: bug#40626: Poor performance on low-end ARMv7 devices

Hello,

For those ARMv7 devices, which have few substitutes available and not
much computation power, an approach is to work from a x86 machine and
cross-compile disk-images.

We will also have network booting supported soon, which will allow to do
the same, but without having to write an SD card.

In the meantime I would propose to close this bug, as there's not much
that can be done, I think.

Thanks,

Mathieu
