Just curious, at these speeds, what use case would really affect you, or people you can imagine?
30-40% in a stress test is significant. but if I'm not editing 4k videos perhaps, where would I notice this?
Even amongst us programmers who use horrible inefficient IDEs and make horrible inefficient electron apps, disk speed isn't really a noticeable bottleneck right now?
Even a convoluted local environment to simulate a server environment with a ton of microservices wouldn't really be affected much by this
- finnh 9y agoDisk speed is always a bottleneck, much more than CPU generally. Almost every thing you do leads to, or is dependent on, IO speeds. If you disk speed drops by 40%, for example, every application will be at least 40% slower to load. That's a major hit. That horribly inefficient electron app is now slow to load, not just slow to run. Or, to put this another way: Do you have an SSD? Why?
- frou_dh 9y agoThe filesystem is cached in RAM so it’s too simplistic to talk about applications like that.
- ringaroundthetx 9y agoyeah, not always true, and this is more about noticeable performance. The answer is to why I have an SSD is speed and throughput and the point of calling this file system change out is because there are diminishing returns to the productivity in real world use a benchmark is just a repeated process which is not reflective or real world use except in very small narrowly tailored applications
