It depends on what you mean by perform better? My faster speed disc (11+) go about 50 ft further, but I loose a lot of accuracy. I usually can hit my shots with a slower speed driver better but at the expense of greater distance.
If you have the power to throw faster speed discs they will go farther.
My BBB has been going 24/7 as my Pihole for almost 1 year now. The only thing I have to manage is the Pihole logs because of the 2GB eMMC of my older version.

I work in the industry in TX and we've seen noticeable changes in both usage patterns and amounts. Most notable in the early morning hours as people are waking up and getting ready to work. A whole lot more people are waking up, checking emails, and keeping lights on at home rather then driving to the office.
