can't keep up with a fast talker. I don't know how good a processor is
in Alexas.

Surely Alexa's processing is done centrally by the Amazon server.

That's a rather silly way to do it. They'd need a huge system, and there would be problems with latency. You don't need that much CPU to process voice, it should be inside the device.
