This comment here is what I come to HN for.
I think that OS X was the first OS that did hardware compositing. How come that WindowServer consumes so much CPU instead of GPU?
- new_realist 5y agoThe CPU isn't compositing, it's rendering 2D objects, I think—text, vector graphics, etc.
- floatingatoll 5y agoI didn't closely check for "is it CPU+GPU or CPU only" when I looked at Activity Monitor yesterday. I could, but I suspect that isn't a stable answer year-over-year yet.
