Unfortunately I am not going to test in that way but I will be happy to help.

If someone has hardware that is at least 3 times faster than my hardware then I
will be happy to replace hardwares.

Remember that older and slower is better so it is probably a bad deal for me to
get faster hardware unless I also get money as compensation.
