Debate on determinism cost: proper implementation loses single-digit percent, not 10x

Responding to claims that deterministic inference costs 10x performance, the author cites Duncan Riach's analysis as less misleading: done properly, determinism costs only a single-digit percentage, and output differences stem from algorithmic decisions rather than different circuits.
