(all speeds are read time)
RAM speed: 35 GB/s
Disk speed: 3.2 GB/s
Network speed: 0.87 GB/s
While you aren't wrong, I have no problem loading cat pictures at network speed instead of ram speed.
I think the real issue here is network consumption is expensive. It's better if you store all your cat pictures for as long as possible. People would complain in discord generated gigabits of temporary disk files, but RAM usage can always be freed if the OS demands it.
