I read a bit about the F2FS file system, but it sounded a bit proprietary, and not widely used. I'll do a little more reading.... As for the SD card, my understanding is that post boot, the OS is 100% in ram, and the card isn't used for anything (provided the cache is with the data). That implies no performance boost beyond boot time....
