I’d be pretty surprised, because I feel like the UI in OS X has always had more latency than Windows. Especially noticeable with the mouse with acceleration, but also throughout the rest of the UI. This was my biggest gripe in switching to OS X.


Yeah. Mouse was always way better in Windows and Linux. Finder browsing files has also always been laggy. Now with the latest macos versions it's ridiculous, if you take a screenshot, it takes about a minute for the file to appear.


Screen shots appear instantly in macOS, I'm not sure what machine you're on.

Finder browsing files is much faster in macOS, Windows scans the entire directory with defender every time you click on it before it allows you to sort it or interact with it. That can take several minutes on some of my directories.

The mouse tracking model in Windows is somewhat different, and a bit more responsive, but there are multiple third party extensions to macOS the make its model exactly the same as the Windows model.


What the heck are you taking about lol
