having more ram and faster machine overall, i’ve lived with a 2008 laptop woth 2gb ram 5400rpm hdd and core2duo capped to 1.2ghz thinking it’s okayish since i run a highly optimized linux setup, it wasn’t. upgrade to a faster machine with ssd and everything literally made my system run twice as faster than before.
I know it’s most likely just a figure of speech, but I’d be surprised if that more modern machine runs only twice as faster. The SSD alone probably should feel lightning fast compared to a 5400 HDD, even just for regular desktop use.
