I've been using a 2gb pi4 as my main work computer for nearly a month. Compiling large and complex executables. I've been really impressed. 4k60hz display, handles compilation and browsing really well, decent thermal efficiency also.
I haven't done anything like what you are doing but I can confirm that the 4 is fuck loads faster than a 3b+.
I only decided to try it out of curiosity while my wife borrowed my desk and I couldn't be bothered to move my PC. The fact I haven't moved back should indicate how happy I am with the Pi4!
