Has anyone tried a 32 bit main board on the MK3?

I have noticed the MK3 CPU is struggling. Has anyone tired a 32 bit controller and if so which one did you use?

Beside the fact that MK3 does not have CPU but MCU, how do you see that?
There is no release of the Marlin 2.0 version yet (32 bit version). I think there are not many people compiling and trying this early development on their MK3. Especially what's the point to buy MK3 einsy board and not using it? It's one of the more expensive parts on this printer.

Correction MCU How do you see that? quite easily it shows up in stepper moves. Earlier firmware ran quite smoothly and as the firmware became bloated and combined around FW 3.4 Prusa had dialed back the steps from 64 to 16 in their firmware. if you change the steps in current FW back to the original settings the printer has a very difficult time printing at any normal speed.

It can also be seen by running klipper which takes the calculations off the enisy leaving it to only processing the stepper move you never seen your mk3 run so smooth and fast

If you've done already a research know the topic then it would be great if you can try the most recent marlin development with a MK3 printer. I'm pretty sure many would like to read and watch the comparison.
