comment Throughput in Spanish?
Yes. But I'm not sure that "throughput" would be the apt word there.

comment What does “les” mean here?
@Cadenza: i'm no expert in english grammar, i'm extrapolating from spanish... But i'd say it's the indirect object (the object of the dative case). Replace "to be appropiate for" with "to suit" or "to fit". In the phrase "This shirt fits you", "you" is the indirect object. The verb does not require a direct object, as it's not transitive.

Be aware that "prolijo" has another meaning (tidy, neat), which is prevalent is some regions (as Argentina)

comment Translating “They don't call me … for nothing.”
The first ones are also a little more idiomatic (at least in Argentina) in this form: "No por nada me llaman..." "No en vano me llaman..."
