Does frequent reinstall degrade io performance/speed ?

Liso

This question just popped in my head as I frequently reinstall OS through SolusVM to test some function in my program.

So, has anyone see performance degradation between each reinstall ?

There is no basis for that except the disk becomes older over time.

To anyone else on the node during that process yes

What about after the process ?

SSD performance might eventually degenerate over time as more and more of cells becomes invalid
Since SSD have limited amount of total write cycles
For HDD no such effect should occur

Also, use docker containers for development? Having to reinstall every time you want a fresh environment must be a PITA.

Maybe the recording of the disc was affected, it wears out. In theory, this is all that reinstallation involves. Most likely, you need to look for the cause in another.
