Depends on your workload and access pattern.
...I'm saying can be faster. Not is faster.
Yeah, but the point of RAM is fast random (the R in RAM) access times. There are ways to make slower memory work better for this by predicting what will be needed (grab a chunk of memory because accesses will probably need things with closer locality than pure random), but it can't be fixed. Cloud memory is good for non-random storage or storage that isn't time critical.
