I'm doing my part (https://lifning.info/snes-samplerate-test.webm) to measure it on my own hardware! This is one of those reminders that computers are made out of physical objects whose properties are affected by the world in which they exist.

temperature isn't as significant as variance between consoles. (and i assume age will continue to increase it across the board)
