Intel advertising the fact that their schedulers can keep MS Teams confined to the efficiency cores... what a sad reflection of how bloated Teams is.

We make a single Electron-like app grow, cancer-like, to do everything from messaging and videoconferencing to shared drive browsing and editing, and as a result we have to contain it.

These days you need a CPU, a GPU, a NPU and a TPU (not Tensor, but Teams Processing Unit).

In my case, the TPU is a seperate Mac that also does Outlook, and the real work gets done on the Linux laptop. I refer to this as the airgap to protect my sanity.
