Supermemo has been a wonderful word lookup tool. I haven't had a problem with slow lookup. However, I have an issue with Supermemo's search results coming out with the least-commonly used word first. So when I just want to look up, for instance, "se," I have to click through a bajillion entries which include those letters to get to it. 
Also, the best dictionary program would have every word as a clickable link to go to the entry for that word. I've used English dictionaries for Palm OS that would do that.
Even more importantly, I was hoping against hope that it would include lujvo.
