Closed replete closed 1 year ago

Just thought you'd appreciate a benchmark: RAM on left, SSD on right:

Surprisingly, not that noticeable on a typical web project.

Interesting.

The big boost in uncached read 4k should be noticeable in real world.

Can you notice a difference in your development work?

@replete What build tools were you using? Angular cli/webpack/ember? Since these projects may write to disk a few times while transpiling code, I'd expect a decent noticeable performance boost...

I must have not had git notifications on 6 years ago!

For the record, at the time of original post I was contracting on an enterprise Angular 1.6 project with a Node backend, I believe that I didn't notice enough mprovement to my particular workflow and abandoned the ram disk idea...

I just did another test in 2022 on a 13" MBP, npm install on a big project went from 32s to 18s... not a huge improvement
