No blame intended. I received a private email to which this was a general reply.

I'm just watching this to see if it's a cheap way of getting some up-to-date hardware now I've stopped moving house for a while. While jessie has delivered some new functionality on my old hardware (but also lost some), it hasn't delivered any appreciable speed gain. Cheers, David.
