1. oh my 16gb ram is not enough, but it's soldered, so I can't upgrade, this goes to the landfill and I need to buy a brand new machine
2. let me go buy 16gb ram for $20. nothing goes to the landfill.
However, with a bit more RAM available, the OS won't have to resort to paging to disk nearly as much. That does benefit performance somewhat.
I think solid-state storage is primary for a good experience, and RAM is secondary. Together they complement each other.
The best consumer SSD today is only 7000MB/s in best case scenario, and can't be sustained for a few seconds. Once you start throwing files at it after a few seconds, or bunch of small random files, it goes to a crawl when compared to RAM.
