It’s likely to increase performance by running the CPU cooler when idle and better mapping thermal behavior to performace, so it’s an improvement for things like the steam deck or gaming as well.

The backend especially is not too demanding (thanks to using a compiled binary via Rust). The database demands probably scale, but postgres scaling is relatively well understood. I think right now the least scalable parts look like the frontend node and websocket stuff, but that can be improved. I’m not sure how I feel about Activity Pub protocol wise, it feels pretty chatty, so transit scalability might be something else to consider.
