RPI-5 is fast, a lot faster then Pi-4. However, that is the case only when it is working from its memory and is not engaging in high level disc activity. Even when you boot from a USB-3 SSD, RPI-5 can not really perform well under pressure, if your use case requires disc activity. You will experience occasional freezes in changing durations. I haven't tried the nvme option, as it requires additional components and i'd rather not to, because if i buy extra stuff to get the Pi to a better working state, its price-performance ratio gets a hit and it loses its charm to me.

That is of course when you are using it as a desktop.
Er no. While its pretty good with a decent SD card, stick a NVME drive via PCIe on it. and it really really flies. It's a case of paying more for more performance. But I reiterate, it still works fine with an SD card for most desktop tasks.
