How much improvement was there after the thing was running programs that had to
use swap.More memory is always preferable to swap.Cherry picking how fast a
system boots and ignoring operating performance is more than a little
disingenuous.

You would have to be really starved for RAM if that made more
difference than adding an SSD. My old i5 laptop took at least 5
minutes to boot windows 10 into a desktop on a 5400rpm drive. An SSD
only takes about 10s. A massive difference.
