To be fair it’s not 33% slower at opening vs code, and having 30 browser tabs open with slack while using a hot reload compiler on a big code base… It’s 33% slower while running some synthetic 3d video processing benchmark. And even the other 66% is pretty good

It might’ve changed since then but the difference was pretty pronounced with Google Meet a few years ago. In Chrome it roasted laps but in Safari it barely moved the needle.
