According to the FAQ, the bottleneck on this process was hard disk speed, would running the algorithm today be noticeably faster on a NVME SSD? Could it be modified to run on a computer with a sufficient amount of RAM, perhaps in batches? Have there been other improvements in single-core clock speeds, multi-core performance, or any other CPU hardware components to make running this noticeably faster on high-end consumer hardware?
