The Panda is going to be faster than a Raspberry Pi.

As I understand it the small file write speed even on supposedly fast SD
cards can be very slow. This certainly seems to be the case on the Pi. It
first became really apparent after a particularly long winded !PackMan
installation. A large number of small files is a problem. External drives
are better but are only USB1.
!Cache on a RamDisc looks much more promising. This is much better, the
improvement is clear, and the machine is not taken over as the cache is
written.
