   It would take literally *hours* to run on original hardware - made implausibly faster by modern tech!

     @coprolite9000 @bbcmicrobot @arx the sky does indeed seem to be a little faster! Quite a bit, actually- maybe two or three times the speed. Five hours in and we're definitely past halfway!

     * Cheers on the little Electron *

     (I wonder if it'll speed up a bit when it gets to the sky? The simpler gradient-only stuff might help a bit...)

     @bbcmicrobot @coprolite9000 @arx Four hours and we're maybe halfway, or not quite halfway.

     @bbcmicrobot @coprolite9000 @arx Two hours, and it is apparent that the Electron's aspect ratio is slightly taller than the BBC's. I guess they don't want to keep the CPU halted longer than 40 µs if they can avoid it...

     @bbcmicrobot @coprolite9000 @arx I'm guessing more like eight, given that it has so far done this much, and it's been going for an hour and twelve minutes.

     @coprolite9000 @coregaze @arx I’m going to wager 5 hours on an Electron! I’m cheering it on 😃

     @coregaze @arx @bbcmicrobot
     'A while', I imagine?

     (If you've got access to original hardware, Owlet's got an audio export thingy which might be handy, saving a bit of typing. I'd love to see a photo of the poor Electron doing its stuff - I *think* the program will work unmodified?)

     @coprolite9000 @arx @bbcmicrobot How long do you think it would take on an Electron, and do you want me to try it and find out?
