It's nice that CPU's get faster, but what of the embeded projects?

When you have a fixed amount of processor power for a price, it's hard to not wish that networking took less cpu time.

Is there a place for some off cpu, toe usage in the embeded world?

The TOE doesn't come for free though. It would probably be cheaper and simpler to use a more powerful general purpose CPU rather than a TOE solution, wouldn't it?
