One would think a big advantage of Linux would be the ability to copy the version of the kernel appropriate to the processor on the device. Modules too. Then it would only be the user applications that would be least common denominator. But since most Linux programs are free you could probably download versions optimized for performance processors as you went along. I'm speculating. I've never owned a smart phone or tablet. But if the phone is smart it should be able to download an app?
Edit: when I said "copy" the kernel and modules what I really meant was the device would come preloaded with the kernel and modules optimized for the CPU that's in it. Windows has too many GB of code to do more than have a minimum required CPU and ram spec.
