If everyone followed this model instead of open source, then Corridor Key itself would have to cover dozens of software licenses for all it's dependencies.
Additionally Shadow Warrior used some newer rendering techniques, so it's possible they don't scale well to higher resolutions.

Lets make a real comparison: The NEDC combined rating for the 2025 e-POWER is 5.4l/100km (FWD). The 2018 diesel version you linked uses 5.6l/100km, and the petrol 2018 version uses 6.2l/100km.
For a truly fair comparison you could have looked at the non-e-power versions from 2025, which come in at 7.4l/100km.
Unfortunately tracking individual plugin memory usage is not possible without invasive (and slow) tracing. If the plugins are causing big memory usage in the main process it can be hard to nail down due to that state being shared between all plugins.
Do you have a specific memory issue where it keeps using more over time?
As for why specific issues aren't addressed, it's merely a prioritization thing. It's a large task, and I'm sure if you asked 100 people they'd all give you different answers for which "basic usability" thing needs to be addressed.
The latter is usually what people who use the quote "premature optimisation is the root of all evil" think it means. Don't just keep calm and clone, consider what you're cloning and why, and then hopefully we won't end up with even more horribly slow software.
You also don't advertise that it works on the steam deck by accident.

> and even substantially faster than a Pi 5 for multi-core and vector stuff
I'll push back a little on this. It can be faster under certain workloads, but is not universally. It's behind in geekbench https://browser.geekbench.com/v7/cpu/compare/146501?baseline..., and in compilation workloads: https://www.phoronix.com/review/spacemit-k3-pico-itx/3
But for SiFive's last silicon, the HiFive Premier P550, they claimed a specint2006 of 8.65/GHz. That should put the silicon only about 20% slower than an intel i5-6400. But if you look at geekbench scores it's about an order of magnitude slower.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tenstorrent has yet to ship any of their own cores? They do make very similar claims to SiFive.
Personally I'm very skeptical that these cores will be anywhere near Zen 3. I recon their performance claims are based on best-case CPU simulation, rather than a real measurement. I'd expect Raspberry Pi 4 levels of performance, a bit over double SiFive's current state of the art. An impressive improvement, but nowhere near Zen 3.
In firmware.
