A 50x speedup is pretty cool in its own right. Kudos. However, I wonder if this isn't treating a symptom versus a root cause. Is saving that 5s round-trip so common in your workflow that you needed to optimize it, and would it be more

If it's a limited number of states in the automaton, and a limited amount of "tape" in the canvas, it's not a Turing machine, it's a Finite-State Automaton, which is easy to analyze for loops.

I'll consider land use complaints from Miwok and Ohlone, but I'm not sure how "my neighborhood is different from how it was 15 years ago" is a valid concern. A vibrant city can't be a museum.

If each object is a megabyte, you could stick them on microSD cards packed in a cube as tall as an adult. (1 card is 0.11cm x 0.15cm x 0.01cm, 32GB. 32k objects, 31.2M cards needed. 165 cm x 165 cm x 165cm = 110 * 150 * 1650 cards = 27.2M.

As with all proposals to limit the freedom of speech: 1) It's not just the right of the people who speaks to be heard. Your own right to hear and be exposed is as much at stake. Every time you silence someone you make yourself a prisoner of
