Btw, have not time to test the thing, but is performance better under Sierra than in El Capitan?
Never used El Capitan. Regarding vs. 10.9 I would say speed slightly improved due snappier graphics thru metal layer. CPU though maybe a bit slower, but minimal.
The renoise gui now is usable like under 10.9, but i still wish it would be displayed with constant 60fps, no lagging, just like in Bitwig.
Should have run some benchmarks before upgrading…
Spotlight still is the same performance mess. It indexes and indexes… Even worse on Sierra. Wtf. Really bad from concept. That’s why I partly disable it and use quicksilver instead. Will explore other parts later (like the system wide audio unit manager which is a buggy mess on 10.9, all units will be rescanned as soon as QuickTime is involved somewhere, etc)
BTW. I bought some nice Ssd now for this notebook, will turn it now into a decent Macbook Pro development machine. Once you get used to Ssd, there is no way back
