Two million Raspberry Pi sold

Would I notice any performance gain from using a cheap pc over a pi for something like BT sync?

The Pi's processor is equivalent to a 300MHz Pentium 2, and that's kinds scary.

Certainly. The RPI is not able to even remotely saturate its network card + a USB harddrive.

After googling for alternative arm credit card boards I'm now looking into not too old [thin]m-itx atom ones. I wonder what's the cheapest out there.

you will notice a serious performance upgrade by switching to a BeagleBone black. IMHO the BBB is about twice as fast (or more) as the rPi.

The BBB is lacking in community support vs the rPi.
