Devs should really grab an old netbook from ebay with an atom cpu and 1-2GB of ram and see how well their new React app works on that
@mikoto I wonder how easy it is to arrange for the same thing in a virtual machine; constrained RAM and disk capacity is obviously easy, as well as picking a fixed small resolution for the virtual framebuffer, but CPU and network and storage _speed_ seems somewhat more difficult to control on desktop hypervisors.
@jmc you could limit CPU time, also there are full emulators like 86box that can emulate Pentium II and earlier CPUs, though you do need good single core performance
@jmc sadly nothing that can emulate anything newer with cycle accuracy, but the cpu time thing might help
