If there are cases important to you as a user, file bug reports about the performance. OS developers can (and will) guess about what scenarios are most performance-critical, but feedback from developers and users ("doing X is important to me, and is slow on your system" / "why is Y slower on your system than on your competitors" / etc) is enormously valuable and quite welcome. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Speaking as an OS developer, poor performance absolutely is a bug, and your bug report will be taken seriously.
- nicholassmith 14y agoI don't think it's specifically poor performance, but places that have attracted more optimisation attention. An operating system is a big old chunk of work, and not every element can be honed to a fine edge. It's good that OS developers do actually respond and focus on areas users have flagged up as well, builds better systems.
