   As soon as you post the translators.

You made the claim, the onus is on you to back it up.  If you haven't
got any timings, then you'll need to show that previous attempts at
similar translations have consistently resulted in poorer performance
-and- that this is inherent in any such translation.  I don't believe
the evidence is available to show the former let alone the latter,
but I'm perfectly willing to be proved wrong.
