I was looking for a cable and ran across my first tablet, a Nexus 7 2013. I
got some juice into it and powered it up. Boy, is it SLOW! Not just in
relation to my current tablet, but just really slow period. Does old
hardware like this slow down as it ages?

My 2012 Nexus 7 still works. ISTR it got a lot slower when it was
 updated from Android 4 to 5. But mine was long ago reflashed with
 a 3rd-party version of Android - 7.1.2 from 2017 - and once it's
 booted up, which takes ages, it runs pretty quickly.

Is that still available?  My old N7 could use a shot in the arm.

I still use it for testing old apps. (It runs Firefox 68 which,
 until recently, was the only version on Android which would run
 Add-ons.)
