when this is available.

I'd say your next step is to run various benchmarks and timed operations on
your embedded machine versus your usual one, and see if it's 6x slower at
everything.   Does your app depend on
- database queries?
- reading files from disk?
- writing files (including PDF?) to disk?
- pure processing ?

Are you familiar with Pystone?  Usage here...

>>> from test import pystone

>>> pystone.main()

Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 0.59
This machine benchmarks at 84745.8 pystones/second
