I am a web developer getting a new computer. Right now I am deciding between two laptops - one that has 32gb ram but a slower processor, and one with 16gb ram (can't be upgraded further) but a faster processor, and I want to know what is going to give the biggest productivity increase. The main purpose of upgrading RAM, in my opinion is to allow me to run more programs at once. But if the processor change is going to make a noticeably faster page load speed, that would be important to me because I have to reload the same page time after time after time since I like to test at very short intervals. To keep my question non-subjective, I want to ask what is the difference in performance in reloading and initializing a web page served from localhost using these two processors or similar. If not, I would appreciate it if someone would explain where the biggest slowdown is. Here one is nearly 25% faster according to general benchmarks.

I would guess that the major blockage would be a slow hard drive for anything like this, but I think a faster processor might be significant in rendering the page, initializing AngularJS, etc. If the processor speed difference isn't going to matter much, then I'll just go with the extra RAM
Thanks for your help! If you want to downvote, please at least write a comment as to why.
Note: this is NOT a duplicate because this question refers specifically to both serving and browsing from localhost.
