It's about my view of another incarnation of text/graphic terminals in modern, not so efficient, noisy, but power-saving reality. One, three or more useless x86 cores? Why? Toasters from xbill are finally here?
It's better to have one processor in display and a bit of imagination.

(Advogado parsing and html generating is horrible. But i've posted no fully kernel related thing.)

Not like this. This is closed hardware, USB, closed software (e.g. compression algos).
I'd like to have a chip with open source OS, which can be reprogrammed in-system. Compression? Well,
#!/bin/sh
set -e
trap "echo Error" 0
con=/tmp/console#0
[ -p "$con" ] || mkfifo "$con"
open-vt "$con"
exec >$con
echo $compress
exec emacs | $compress
where
compress="dd bs=4k"
compress="gzip -7"
compress="bzip2"
compress="7zip"
or anything else.
Also, the main point is featured text mode. Ethernet 100/1000 can handle anything i guess. 24-25 fps video at least. 3D games? Well, then plug DVI (and thus switch on all 3D toasting) and have fun.
