I’m still on Sequoia because of all the Tahoe complaints. Not so much the rounded corners, but I heard performance was poor. Have updates to Tahoe improved things?

I’m on an M1 Max device and the GPU performance drops have not gotten back to Sequoia levels on Tahoe patches. Golden Gate hasn’t changed anything either.

They toned down the effects in Golden Gate but the backend is doing the same amount of work to blend all that pointless stuff in.

You'd get the performance back if they gave up on the translucently to the point of removing the code.

For me Tahoe's performance was alright, but cmd-space spotlight search disappeared after second keystroke wayy too often. Reverted to Sequoia.
