I applied the patched on both my systems (iMac 2013 core i7 on Sierra under HFS+ that was upgraded to High Sierra for the occasion, and a MacBookPro 2017 already on High Sierra under APFS), and I can confirm that both my systems are seriously and objectively slowed down, 4 days after the patch now.
From what I could observe, applications taking the most serious hit are electron based (like VSCode, that went from smooth as silk to mildly sluggish) and Safari.
Docker on mac has also taken a hit, although I couldn't quantify it objectively.
- mastax 9y agoInteresting. I had thought about game load times. Most use large agglomerations and shouldn't be too affected. Some games do load small loose files and would be slowed significantly. I suppose the same applies to desktop applications. Most use a large executable with maybe a few dlls. Electron and Python applications that ship as source or bytecode will be much more affected.
- jaaames 9y agoOk so I'm not completely insane, everything felt like molasses this week and that's why.
- throwawaysecops 9y agoThen it's no coincidence that insanity is slowing things down to effect the ongoing illusion of security.
