I'm not about to get into whether or not these 2 things are or are not
"technical help".  But I certainly don't think that anyone does want
to say that saying "Don't use 5.x because its slow" is technical help
because many of us see it as largely unfounded opinion.  I have seen
lots of posts trying to tell you that 5.x is just as fast or faster
and demanding benchmarks.  While I note that you have not provided any
grounds on which to make the claim of decreased speed on similarly
configured software running on matching (or better, the same)
hardware.

Why don't you want to "get into" it, since its your entire point?
