Yes, the flags (disabling smooth scrolling and 'whatever-is-the-name-of-the-flag' that makes images load quicker) make a difference, but the biggest difference is that cache is moved from the relatively slow storage to RAM. This is probably more pronounce on the Pine64 boards as they use SD cards but you can also tell the difference on the Pinebooks eMMC.
