While M1 - M4 are fast. I still think macOS is relatively slow in terms of responsiveness / latency compared to BeOS even with M series. This probably go back to Early Windows or DOS where everything feels instantaneous.
- leakycap 1y agoI agree & still use a PowerBook running actual OS 9 as my "second brain" Nothing else is as fast, I don't get slowed down by it Even cursor movement on modern macOS is slow
- loloquwowndueo 1y agoWindows, instantaneous? Haha. I never used anything older than 3.0 but unless you mean those older versions indeed, nope - it never felt anything even close to “instantaneous”. (Unless you’re talking about how frequently it crashes).
- Retric 1y agoPre USB peripherals + CRT monitors could have really low input latency by modern standards. Windows would chug from all sorts of issues, but some things did feel instantaneous.
- anthk 1y agoLoading was slow indeed, even with DMA bound IDE drivers. But once they were in RAM, the latency from a PS2 input was almost nil, as if you were using a kitchen appliance.
- leakycap 1y agoSame with ADB. I've yet to feel a USB mouse feel as connected as the old ADB mouses did.
