FYI, `kworker/*` are kernel threads. I don't know of a way to figure out exactly what each one is for. I also wonder how much the microSD card performance affects...

Newer software is more complex and runs slower on the same hardware.

The C API for GRX is here: http://docs.ev3dev.org/projects/grx/en/latest/c-api/index.html FYI, GRX is graphics mode only (so can't be used in conjunction with ncurses) and is known to have poor performance when...

If you are building your own kernel, it is in the device tree. If not, you can rotate it 180 degrees by using a different device tree file as discussed...

With the exception of the combination of Windows and Bluetooth, yes. https://www.ev3dev.org/docs/networking/

Ah yes. In my first comment I only mention the manufacturer-specific advertising data. Here is the rest in more readable form:
