    Right. They don't care about performance at all. Aside from forking KHTML and turning it into a world class web browser, developing Clang and many other open source projects, designing the fastest mobile SoC etc. They don't care about performance at all.

    You're free to prefer any OS you'd like, but if you need to invent bullshit in order to rationalize your decision, you have a problem.
    The OSX guys did all these?

      Apparently, huh? How is this apparent? I, for example, have read all the similar articles for the last 8 years. Nothing has changed. Go check for yourself to see.

        I really considered buying a mac, but this benchmark shows again, that macOS is internally full of crap and externally shine, shine. I'm this harsh, because macs are expensive. Apple has more money than any other company and when they suck in performance and also in security, than this is hustle and cheating!

          Well. If you have a battery on your cache, fsync may only go to cache. It just have to be persistent on a sudden loss of power and a battery and flush on powerdown gives you that. So they could be optimizing for laptops. If so a desktop should perform worse for sqlite.

            The latter is exactly what you did 'cause he was talking about macOS developers and users, NOT about Apple in general. I hope you do know that the people who work on things like Clang, iOS hardware, etc. aren't the same guys who are developing macOS? And not the same as artists who use macOS?

              As a user of FreeBSD, Linux, and Mac OS, I can tell you this is not true. Especially the memory management of Mac OS is really good.

                MacOS never even had memory management. That was introduced in OS X, now macOS.

                  Michael, if you want to investigate database and particular sqlite performance , you can try mounting the disk on Linux with "barrier=0" or ("nobarrier" for btrfs). That is the mount option for disks that have battery backed write-back cache (which the main memory of laptop essential is).

                    Wow, do you really think he meant the old Mac OS or did you just want to shoot his mouth off?!

                      If Apple was letting the NSA spy on me I would have heard about it on TV "news"
                      Oh, so it's that how the inside of NSA offices look like? Could you post also a pic of your desk?
