I was asking about asahi performance not macos performance.

I've generally experienced the same as what you're describing, but I'm not totally sure that I've had the same experience w.r.t RAM usage vs windows. It might be true for office somehow, but there might also be other reasons why office on windows might use more RAM. I'm mostly had the opposite experience where macOS uses more RAM for most things, but because its so excellent at swapping it isn't impactful.

window NT memory management is just bad, literally from the early 1990s with 64bit (very badly) hacked over 32bit hacked over 16bit hacked over 8bit (e.g. NTFS) soaked in all the worst of 90s era corporate bureaucracy. I'm 100% sure office takes more opportunity than most to rely on it.

Awesome progress, but support for the mic and external monitors is still badly needed. Keep up!
