Heck, build a snazzy backplane so I can farm up a dozen of the things for lots-of-containers work if you really want, but I do not care one whit about how fast any individual processing path is beyond "it shouldn't be worse than my laptop from 10 years ago".

It would be kind of cool to have my best board in my laptop, my previous
