(i'm so not a tech >expert) that was how i understood it anyway. As far as I know you can add some knowledge without a speed penalty, but you need a bigger (and more expensive) FPGA - so the extra cost is not "NPS" but "$". However, it's a very interesting project and Brutus ran stable and also played very well in Paderborn.
