Only white screen with STM32 Nucleo-64 L467RG + Waveshare 4" ILI9486 + TFT_eSPI <SOLVED>

Go on. 320x480 pixels = 307k SPI bytes @ 20MHz or 123ms.

I would expect Bodmer to achieve 125ms.

Several readers have Waveshare e.g. ZinggJM, Bodmer, ? TFTLCDCyg, ...
They may not have your target Nucleo but would know the theoretical and practical performance.
