This is pretty minor. The area I have noticed a real performance difference between Intel and Apple silicon is the macOS activity monitor. On Intel machines it populates immediately when you switch between cpu/memory/energy. On m1 machines there’s a noticeable lag.
Like I said, it’s pretty minor but when I’m going into activity monitor it’s to check a process and the performance delay feels bigger than it actually is.
