 Both SignalK as well as Node-RED are rather resource intensive software applications to run on the GX Device. From a CPU usage point of view as well as RAM memory.
-Ofcourse, how intensive depends on what kind of flows (node-red) or how many messages & handling of them (SignalK) happens in the system.
+The level of intensity largely depends on the system's specific configuration - whether it's the type of flows in node-red or the volume and processing requirements of messages in SignalK.
 From a GX device point of view, from the support models the Venus GX is the one with the least resources. Running both SignalK and Node-RED at the same time will be "pushing it" to say it simply. The Cerbo GX is already much faster, as it has a dual core CPU as well as much more RAM. More details about CPU & RAM differences are in this document: https://github.com/victronenergy/venus/wiki/machines.

This is less of a problem on a Cerbo GX or an Ekrano GX, as it has more resources (faster CPU). Installer access level is required to enable/disable these settings.
