Yes, basically.

No, "bigide" has a fixed set of components.

SSD is a valid way to speed up a computer.
Moon phase clearly was the cause for some nasty bugs which I could not
solve, but "make bigide" timing can be reproduced quite accurately
with the same compiler settings.

Not bad. Still a lot faster than Beebox.
Yet, the processing power / electric power ratio is quite amazing in
Celeron N3000. Its TDP is 4W.
