The FPGA that runs an OpenCore without additional optimization at 400MHz
would not have a very good MFlops/Cost ratio.  An FPGA might be a good
solution if the problem can be fitted and the need for Linux wasn't
really necessary.  i.e., a custom jpeg compressor for an internet camera
is a very good application on an FPGA when married to a low end
microcontroller.
