PicoClaw runs effortlessly with plenty of headroom.
Use an NVMe SSD instead of microSD for much better I/O performance.
Add a heatsink or active cooling to prevent thermal throttling under load.
Configure swap on a fast storage device for extra memory headroom.
Use a quality USB-C power supply rated for the board's requirements.
