so I moved to a Mini PC Celeron J4125, 8GB/128gB eMMC and yes this has improved. Underwhelmed though because it only cuts about 2% of my processor,
and still takes over 2 min for startup (was 4)
this is better too:
though as you can see still quite long.
option to do:
- add M2 SSD memory, and move the Data to that drive (had that with my Rpi4 too), eg https://www.amazon.nl/Samsung-980-M-2-NVME-1TB/dp/B08TJ2649W/ or
- return for Celeron but with 16GB mem
- return and buy heavier processor with more mem and SSD
Not sure where MariaDB lives in my current hardware, but would suppose the 8Gb to be sufficient to run in there?
I will throw some new profile files at Nick, and hope he can see progress/advise!
