APFS or Extended Journaled for session drive?

I just want users to be aware that it may be possible to run into cases of pathological performance with APFS on HDD...

I am not sure what the argument going on is here...

Not arguing at all. I guess I didn't understand fully what you meant by simple editing makes no difference but editing that changes actual media on disk did, which is why I wasn't seeing any difference in PT. We're probably saying the same thing.

Someone asked if APFS makes a difference in PT and I reported my findings on a 12-core 5,1 mac. That's it. YMMV.
