In my opinion you shouldn't really have to worry about it. It's practically a computer.

But, even though it's probably not needed at all, it would still be cool.
its 400Mhz

but that also means we can throw much more complex tasks (image processing, array crunching, super-linear-time operations over big data sets) to choke the processor with.
