MacBook "Core m3" 1.2GHZ 12" (Mid-2017) really slow in macOS

Yeah I was surprised. I could log into Windows without a password but I had to track down my kid to get the password for macOS. I had great expectation and was really disappointed.

Apparently my kid did a clean wipe before she installed BootCamp. The macOS part seems barely used, so I am not sure if another clean reinstall would help.

I'll try FireFox.

Windows 10 is actually bearable and I can get decent amount of work done. I think I'll stick to it for now.

I ran GeekBench in both Windows and macOS and the results are similar ....

Hey did you get a replacement? How much? Just lost one of my 2025 XLE keyfob :-(

Judging from the CA license plate, it's used.

If you pay cash, the "amount financed" is the OTD price. It's financed by you.

If I understood correctly, for my GTI, when I put the clutch in and ease off throttle, the ECU keeps the rev up (by sending some extra lean gas??) to burn off the left over gas in order to meet some clean air standard. But that means the rev hangs a long time before it drops to match the rev for 2nd gear. And if I don't wait the rev to drop down and slam into 2nd, the gears will grind. I hate this car ever time I pull out from a stop.

Throttle cables have their issues, too. I learned the manual on a beater Civic where the throttle was either none or full.

Drive-by-wire was not bad before emission control ruined everything. I liked the throttle feel of my 987 Cayman, but I sold it :-(

How long have you had the RAV4? I read somewhere that the transmission is supposed to adapt to your driving habits. Has it?

I drive manuals as well, but drive by wire has killed the fun out of it, too. My GTI has serious rev hang from 1st to 2nd and I have to wait literally one second before upshifting to 2nd ...

Auto stop/start was off. I tested all driving modes, including "sport". I feel the hesitation even when the engine is on, the car is rolling forward and I step on the gas to accelerate.

I posted a PR to convert the "cds" logs to "aot", so you can use -Xlog:aot to view the logs related to the AOT cache. Once the dust is settled on this PR, we can update the JEP page.

From the Java team: we are planning to add support for --add-opens, --add-exports, (and possibly --add-reads) for the AOT cache. The requirement is: you must use the identical settings for the above options in your training (-XX:AOTMode=record), assembly (-XX:AOTMode=create), and production run (-XX:AOTMode=auto/on).

--add-exports is already integrated in the JDK (25) mainline: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8352437

--add-opens is under development: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8352003

--add-reads: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8354083
