For splitting there is absolutely no competition. A small engine
driving a big flywheel with an axe head on the outer edge of it. Add a
bench to slide the logs across, with a cutout for the axehead. I've
seen this demonstrated, and it splits logs like a knife splits butter,
seriously you can do a log a second effortlessly. Add a barrier so you
cant quite reach the axehead with hands.

but that one lacks a key feature, which slows it down greatly. Add a
good sized table to the front and logs can simply be slid into
position from the side one per second.
