Re: [orca-list] Processor or memory: which matters most with screen readers?

["Glenn K0LNY" <glennervin cableone net>]

A screenreader might affect the processing speed, but there is still more 
than enough processing speed for what most people do with their computers.
Sort of like how having 10 people packed into a car will affect it's ability 
to reach top speed, it will still function fine if it is a Ferrari, and ARM 
processors are like a Honda, yet they still do well with a screenreader.

Processor speed since screen readers on windows at least slice 50% off the
processing speed just to get their work done.
Illustrating this can be done by running the same job with screen reader
turned off then repeating the job with the screen reader turned on.  The
timing numbers at the end of those job runs tell the story.
