[SOLVED] Why raspberry pi is really terribly slow even it has an arm processor

Issue

I feel like I am asking a stupid question. The question is simple. Why raspberry pi 4 gb is so slow(slower than x86 processor) even it is using a arm processor?

I am using raspbian 32 bit.

Solution

There isn't just one ARM processor, in the same way that there isn't only one x86 processor, so the answer will be a huge multi-dimensional table comparing different processors against different situations.

A similar question is "Why are cars faster than motorbikes?", the answer is...a lot of questions; what's the engine of the car? and the one in the motorbike? do they have turbo? are we on a circuit or off-road? what was the budget? how much petrol do we have? etc, and... what about the driver?
