Yeah, I'm also interested in responsiveness details.

I have my gripes with MacOS after years of linux/windows usage, but responsiveness on M1 is not one of them.

For me it is the little things. Like switching windows. Mac feels half a second slower then Linux and that delay make it feel less responsive. Opening up the terminal can iterm2 is another one. For me these things just adds up. I want my OS to get out of my way when I want to get work done.

I have turned off the genie effect and perhaps other animations, but my Ubuntu on my Lenovo still feels faster than the Mac.
