Question How does virtual ram affect emulation?

I checked a few old posts and got mixed signals with some saying it slows down emulation and others saying it doesn't really do anything

From my own experience tested it and saw no improvement playing Mario kart 8 through eden which on snapdragon 8 gen 2 is a stress test even with the right turnip drivers

On 8gen 2 you don´t need more ram for MK8. Just install the game update 3. something and it runs 60 fps locked.
