The information technology revolution has facilitated reaching pornographic material for everyone, including minors who are the most vulnerable in case they were abused. Accuracy and time performance are features desired by forensic tools oriented to child sexual abuse detection, whose main components may rely on image or video classifiers. In this paper, we identify which are the hardware and software requirements that may affect the performance of a forensic tool. We evaluated the adult porn classifier proposed by Yahoo, based on Deep Learning, into two different OS and four Hardware configurations, with two and four different CPU and GPU, respectively. The classification speed on Ubuntu Operating System is 5 and 2 times faster than on Windows 10, when a CPU and GPU are used, respectively. We demonstrate the superiority of a GPU-based machine rather than a CPU-based one, being 7 to 8 times faster. Finally, we prove that the upward and downward interpolation process conducted while resizing the input images do not influence the performance of the selected prediction model.
