> If you're not paging out of ram you will never ever notice. What you say is true but you didn't respond to someone complaining about ram latencies, you responded to someone lamenting poor disk access perf. And you recommended booting off SSD which is demonstrably specious advice.

Again I will tell you--it doesn't matter to me and I suspect 99% of users. Unless you are like a Linus tech tips fanatic and eeking out every percent of performance for your Good Gaming Rig then it's fine. Yes the storage performance isn't perfect. It's fine.

  Why did you recommend SSD at all if it doesn't make a difference?
  - qbasic_forever 4y ago
    Because not all SD cards are the same and I have more large SSD drives sitting around than SD cards. Why do you think results for one SD card map to all of them? Again, it doesn't matter. Real people in the real world aren't performance tweakers. Oh no! Someone on the internet suggested someone do something that isn't optimal to performance! Wow better go on a multi reply freak out about it!

  I couldn’t stream YouTube videos on 1080p without terrible stutters when I tried the Pi4 a few years ago. Has that been fixed?

    I believe that there is hardware accelerated video now, though I haven't had hands on a Pi4 to test.
  - qbasic_forever 4y ago
    Never had a problem here. Make sure you're using Raspbian and getting hardware accelerated video.

    4K might cause some problems in my experience, but 1080p should be totally fine. (in my memory the problem was more with running the display itself in 4k and trying to get a full frame rate out of it, but I think the advice still holds - 1080p videos on a 1080p or 2K display shouldn't be any sort of major challenge)

> recommended booting off SSD which is demonstrably specious advice Booting the Pi 4 off a quality USB-connected SSD to address stability and performance concerns is really good - and normally not controversial - advice. You're betraying a lack of familiarity with the subject matter here.
