I hesitated on this point but finally decided to use abbreviations instead.
We can use full words if the team agrees it's better. However I'm
unsure about the name of the latest option, "Hardware (direct)" is
confusing I think. The user won't know the difference with the
previous option.
I suggest "Hardware (fastest)" or simply "Fastest".
