I hope Apple currently has a team focused on macOS perf.

I worked on the team in charge of improving iOS (13) perf at Apple and IIRC there was no dedicated macOS “task force” like the one on iOS.

Luckily some iOS changes permeated into macOS thanks to some shared codebases.

What changes permeated into macOS? What did your team do to improve iOS perf?

They set "fast = true" as a global constant variable.
