From Toshihisa Iida:

"Will X-Trans continue in the next generation of APS-C sensors?

For APS-C, definitely. For the GFX format, we’ll probably continue with the conventional bayer pattern. If you try to put X-Trans into medium format, the processing gets complicated, and the benefit isn’t very big.

How big is the extra processing requirement for X-Trans compared to bayer?

X-Trans is a 6x6 filter arrangement, not 4x4, it’s something like a 20-30% increase in processing requirement."

This is the same horse's mouth whose marketing department claimed:

... with 6.0 stops of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) the FUJINON XF16-80mm F4 R OIS WR
lens can absorb any vibration from a mechanical shutter.

However in this case, the horse's mouth seems correct. I processed X-T20 and X-T100 RAFs from the studio comparison scene with Darktable, one using Markesteijn 3-pass and the other using Amaze. The difference was 6 seconds vs 5 seconds, or 20%.

P.S. This was on a virtual machine; no GPU was available.
