I realize it would take considerable processing power (considerable

I'd just like to clean up my digital past. Assuming it can be done in
less than 10 years (and assuming than in 10 years I'll have ~101x my
current computing power),

Way a minute. Your willing to spend a decade "just to clean up your
digital past"?

Not just for that... it's also an intellectual exercise, it'd be nice

Go for it.
