It tends to be a lot slower. You see something significant a few times a year tops. But that is of course, what you define as significant. But those few times are major improvements.
As to your question on ARM, XScale is an ARM compliant cpu, and actually the successor. I'm not a hardware expert, so I can't tell you if it really is an ARM but with a new name. Or a totally different architecture that is ARM compliant. But what I will say is that if it says it's an XScale, it is most likely much better than one that is purely ARM.
