Hm....let me think here:

1.  Various VM improvements.
2.  gcc 2.7.2.1 (or was this is 2.1.6?)
3.  More device support.
4.  Generally speedier.

The release notes would have the specific enhancements.

Sorry that I can't recall specifics.

I think it's pretty significant.  X is much more responsive, but this is
3.2 vs. 3.1.x.
