FWIW; this bug is not really about RFP. We can do whatever we want with RFP - this bug is about changing [the value for the pref](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/1c3f5a29f0000619667c419e9ae74897138cb975/modules/libpref/init/all.js#4258) that defines what we cap the processor count to. I can't speak to device memory at the moment; that's over in Bug 1629868. I don't know why we haven't implemented it; I've not been privy to any discussions about it RE fingerprinting or anything like that. Given that we got our example of something that would really benefit from this; I think it's reasonable to land this. Again; this doesn't affect RFP or Tor.
