According to the processor documentation it is ARMv5TE-compliant, and
there's also a Dream Plug with ARMv5 mentioned on:

http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/TargetedHardware

It is not the newest generation of ARM, so it would not be comparable
to a recent tablet.

This page discusses performance comparisons of ARM versus x86:

ARM seems to perform slow with floating point, and Pd is all floating
point. An Atom based computer might be better for Pd. I have no
experience with ARM, but of Atom-based netbooks I know (also from
experience) that Pd performs reasonably well under Debian. Roughly
three times slower than a laptop, I would say.
