Question: if these were run on underclocked hardware, would they use less energy? It seems like you'd need an increasingly large amount of energy to run something in a smaller amount of time.

The fourth comma is also incorrect and should be replaced by a semicolon.
"Unfortunately, the problem is that sometimes these tools are just not sufficient; it's still easy to shoot your own foot and get lost in a sea of complexity."
And looking at that now, I would also get rid of "the problem is that". "Unfortunately" and "sometimes" back to back lacks flow, so I would also replace "sometimes" (in this case with "often" in place of "just"). In the original, "just not" has a stronger grouping than "not sufficient", which is why "insufficient" wasn't used. Now with "just" gone, I'd swap back in "insufficient".
"Unfortunately, these tools are often insufficient; it's still easy to shoot your own foot and get lost in a sea of complexity."
Each pixel basically takes a weighted average of all the light that travels from a pixel-sized area in the world to the lens. As the picture with the dark area shows, this makes the debris form a dark area over a large part of the image. As the f number increases, the weighting gets stronger until 100% of it is a single line from scene to lens to pixel. At this theoretical f/infinity, you'll see all the lens's imperfections in perfect detail since the camera is essentially a pinhole.
