I heard a few rumblings of 3D acceleration being worked on right now, but I am not sure if that is what I am talking about.

The progress being made is truly great, I am hoping that ultimately the OS will run as smoothly as I have seen it run on other hardware.
The G1 uses the MSM7200 (same CPU as the GSM TP/TP2, while the CDMA one uses the 7600 but it's pretty much the same), though at stock its clocked down to 384MHz. 3D acceleration will probably help a bit, but I think a lot of the speed issues are because Android is basically being booted from inside WinMo. I think that once Android development gets better the speed issues will fix themselves.
