With a bit of trimming, a swap-file and a new build - I now have Fedora 10 running pretty reliably on the OLPC. I wouldn’t call it snappy exactly but it’s a start.
Fedora is running off a writeable live image (using a 4Gb SD Card) which also hosts the swap-file. The poor little XO only has 256Mb RAM and is very low powered so having Firefox eat up 40Mb is a problem - might have to find a replacement 
I just signed up for the performance testing team as part of the Fedora on OLPC test effort. Now things are up and running reliably it will be interesting to see what tweaks can be made to improve the performance.
