A ton of that went away for me on my Rpi4 when I switched from sdcard to using a USB NVMe adapter[0] with a decent M.2 SSD in it. And I was using an sdcard recommended for its performance!
Try it. It's astonishing how badly that sdcard holds a Pi back in interactive use.

I've forgotten a lot of the details from when I researched it, but IIRC if your adapter supports UASP, that's a pretty good indicator of trim support.
- GekkePrutser 4y agoSame here. That SD is a huge bottleneck and a reliability Achilles heel as well. Faster cards reduce the bottleneck somewhat, and constant write (videosurveillance) cards reduce the Achilles heel somewhat by increasing time between failure. But only a real SSD fixes both at the same time.
