Originally I bought it in an emergency situation, when I don't had the
money for a Pentium or i3. IOW I don't had a choice. Now I have
got a choice. Yesterday I checked, if it would make sense to replace the
Celeron. However, a Pentium known to perform 25% faster, assumed the
RAM would be 1600, while mine are just 1333, does coast 3 times as much
and a cheap i3 might not perform better than such a Pentium. Assumed I
should notice issues when making music during the summer holidays, I
might replace the Celeron, but perhaps it does a good job. At the
moment I'm not willing to pay that much money, for less, if any
improvement at all. For emails and a browser I don't need more, even
tar.gz backups are fast. Compiling a kernel still is weak and still
takes around 80 minutes in 3.9 GiB tmpfs.
