Yeah it is slower than real RAM by a good amount for latency, but you can get similar bandwidth and the cost was history about half of the same size DDR.

I.e. all alloc should happen up front, functions should have predictable execution time, etc etc

E.x. notebookcheck indicates that FEAR (released a yearish later) could get 20-30ish FPS at 640x480 but chokes at 1024x768 (at numbers matching the HL2 lost coast demo slideshow at 1024x768).

Gotta remember a lot of mac people were just happy to play something more modern than Marathon or Giants CK

There's a pizza place by me called "slice of the 80's" that has tacky vaguely 80-s feeling styling.

Surprisingly its been around for over 15 years and not the flash in a pan pizza shop that tends to come and go. Heck, I dont even think its very good, yet it has survived.

Can't speak too deeply for Go specifically, but I do know on .NET one of the big reasons generic methods where T is a structure gets monomorphized per type, is so that stack size is adjusted and potentially even arg passing (i.e. large struct) as far as the caller/callee.

But as far as when I owned my own home, cutting the grass was just part of my routine and at least guaranteed some physical activity instead of working all day during covid.
