   Probably browser performance is the main bottleneck. Far as I know   
   the RasPiOS version of chromium is the only browser that exploits   
   the VideoCore portion of the Pi. Is this still true?   
      
   It's been a genuine dissapointment that Broadcom failed to open   
   VideoCore in a useful way. It's most of the Pi's horsepower. Or,   
   am I being unfair?   
      
   Thanks to everyone for reading and replying!
