I have an embedded 1.7(8?) GHz Pentium-M-based appliance I'm working on 
and it's really nice.  Cool, quiet, quick.  On the other hand the board 
at that link is an 800MHz Via C3.  I have one of those as my Asterisk 
server, and it's, well, it's an i686 missing a few instructions so you 
have to compile as i586 for everything which isn't automatically 
detected.  The performance is fine for what it is, probably like a 
500MHz P3.

Still, that box might suck for performance, but if you had a mission 
critical app (thinking physical security, monitoring a nuclear power 
plant, etc.) it would be great to have a cookie-cutter box with a 
heartbeat between mobos with a linux-HA thing and maybe Oracle's new 
clusterfs on it.
