I took almost a second. Since we don’t know what your machine is, the statistic is irrelevant. What’s the harm in providing the model?

Do you think you could compile it to WASM and make it into a browser extension?

Meh, it provides info about some order of magnitude you can expect from performance. It doesn't take 10 seconds. It's not instant. It's fast enough to do on the fly.
