The better solution would be fix Anubis and optimise its calculations on iPhone. Maybe it needs WebAssembly hashing implementation instead of JS?

But it would just make Anubis suck a little bit less

Anubis "protection" model is wrong/broken on several levels. I suppose it does not even have ability to bypass hashing screen when server load is low.

Anubis is not a load optimizer. It's sole purpose is to deny the bots you don't want on your site.

It's on the same category as Iocaine and Go-Away, even if what they do is different in some cases.
