Hundredfold smaller frictionlosses from tenfold slowdown
From apm
Dynamic friction (as present in atomically precise diamondoid slide bearings) scales to the square with speed.
So there is a lot to be gained by slowing down.
And deliberate slowdown at the lower assembly levels slowdown can be afforded
due to higher throughput of smaller machinery.

macroscale friction does not scale with speed and slide-bearing-area
but rather with normal-load-force only. Times friction coefficient times speed.
