Getting the same amount of current engineers or possibly less that actually care and know about performance can work. There’s a reason applications are so much relatively slower than they were in the 80s. It’s crazy.

I was using computers in the 80s. They did a very small fraction of what we ask them to do now and they didn't do it fast.
