Bottleneck for operating a Pi 4 in general is overheating. It's bad. It's
idling towards 70 C in a fairly open Pimoroni case. I let the fan kick in
at 65 C which drops it to 55 C in 30 seconds or so. In a minute or two it's
back up to 65 C. Throttling would occur at 80 C which is easily reached
with any sort of load. A Pi 3+ in the same case with a tiny heatsink
(stick-on without thermal paste) idles at 50-55.
