The old machines that support our freedom do not have the newer
processors you are thinking about using. They may not have a gpu at
all. Hardly any of them have a tpu. Yet they are the machines that
we need for freedom.
All else being equal, faster operation on newer hardware is good.
But if the byproduct is slower operation on the old, freedom-respecting
machines, we will have to say no to it. So please plan to make sure
that we don't suffer a slowdown on the older machines we need to use.
