Does using the pnpm server improve performance?

The performance is slower than expected and the hdd seems to be the bottleneck (100% disk usage).
So wondering if the @pnpm/server might help alleviate it by buffering or something?

Also is there away to benchmark the performance?
i am getting the feeling it works better in linux (virtual on the same drive) which doesn't make much sense to me,
but i want to make sure it's not some placebo effect fooling me.
