Are effects identical across different boards?

Hi there.
I’m setting up a frame with 6 8x8 ws2812 led panels.
For the controller I’m trying two boards (with stock 0.15 version on both): ESP32S3 devkit on pin 7, and Wemos D1 mini v4 pin2.
Now testing out Black Hole (same default configuration) effect i get this on the esp32…
esp32
and this on its smaller friend

No matter how I fiddle with settings, i get simple dots moving and not the smooth fading trails, and this happens to other effects as well.
Is this because of the lower capabilities of esp8266 or am i missing something?

Thanks!

enable global buffer. it may run out of ram though.

That did the trick! It’s much better now and memory is 2400/4000.
Thank you very much!

How about just turning off the trails..
