Re: relative throughput of new/old cRIOs
Not enough to matter, not unless you're doing seriously high end trigonometry, triangulation, vision, and a bunch of interrupting.

Until 2009, we ran on an 8-bit microcontroller that had 4kB of RAM and 128kB of program space, operating at 10MIPS, and we did vision with that.

The cRIO runs at something on the order of 400MIPS, and has far more RAM/Program Space. If any of us start saturating its capabilities, I'll be amazed.
