RTX Spark LLM performance: Cache speeds up turns, code compiles

A technical deep-dive into the performance of LLMs running locally, specifically focusing on the RTX Spark hardware and Ollama. The analysis reveals that while a warm cache significantly speeds up subsequent turns in a conversation, the time to process new tokens within a growing context window still slows down. Furthermore, the author verified that code generated by the LLM for Python, TypeScript, and Go compiles and passes tests, though minor discrepancies were noted in comments and implementation choices.
