Wow, if I ran on iOS 9.3 I could get some use out of my old "iPad with Retina Display" (aka Ipad 3).

Fascinating! Any relation to iSH?

Different projects. iSH has the advantage of not requiring sideloading.

OMG

It’s far from perfect, but it’s fun to tinker in.

what do you use it for? my understanding is x86 on software arm is pretty slow (though some things are probably fine e.g. text/cli utilities)

UTM is actually not too horrible on the newer iPads with more RAM once the JIT warms up.
