ProcSubset protection blocks faster-whisper from parsing /proc/cpuinfo resulting in this error message:

Error in cpuinfo: failed to parse processor information from /proc/cpuinfo

This results in a fallback to a suboptimal processing method, causing processing times to be unnecessarily long.
In particular this caused processing of a 3 second clip with a small-int8 model to take about 20 seconds on my i5-12400, fully loading 4 threads.

After the change it is able to process in about 3 seconds with minimal load.

I have not seen a way to limit access only to /proc/cpuinfo specifically, but maybe someone else has an idea.

Thank you for testing whether ProtectProc can stay. It also seems i forgot to welcome you to nixpkgs, but better late than never: welcome welcome!

I pinged Hexa, they know systemd hardening and are part of the home-automation team, so that is probably the right person.
