General discussion • Re: Is a raspberry pi 4b w 2gb ram enough?

@peterlite
I developed on 4 GB machine at one stage and found regular usage at about 1.6 GB but occasional peaks at 2.6 or higher. Using insufficient memory and a microSD seems to slow paging down to a crash no matter how fast the card. USB 3 SSD handles the paging fast enough to not crash.
I am puzzled:
is "paging" a synonym of "needing swap file/partition"?
How can the speed of the virtual RAM -I used rotating USB disks on PI3; way slower than uSD- lead to crashes (perhaps behing very slow can be interpreted as crashes?)
