>> Powerful devices can become circumstantially slowed by multiple factors
The slowest device we test with is actually a very expensive Chromebook with severe thermal throttling issues. Using our WebGL app that runs fine on a low-end Chromebook tablet will bring this expensive Chromebook to its knees within minutes. It throttles down to like 600 MHz or something.
The worst part is that every tech reviewer seems to have one of these things in a drawer somewhere that they pull out for testing. The usual duty pattern of Chromebooks is very bursty, e.g. page loads, but sustained GPU usage just crushes this particular device.
