Agree - and cpu cycles is the only part I was talking about

But wasteful use of CPU cycles and memory directly manifest themselves in ways that are tangible to average users.

Compare that with her doing an hour’s Zwift which will use 30-40% as a minimum. I’ll start a TR session with 25% showing on the battery whereas she’ll only start on Zwift if it’s almost fully charged.

Yeah, but Zwift is graphics-intensive and it is clear that it has to use more energy for that.

@SlowMobius

The issues being discussed here are a niche within a niche within a niche: people running TR on MacOS, with the latest CPU version, who are super sensitive to performance/battery/cooling.

Except it is not a niche of a niche of a niche since it applies not just to the Mac version but all versions of TR. If you use your old smartphone as a TR device, then it’ll likely have a weaker CPU and a weaker battery, which results in worse battery life. Battery life is not a niche issue, it is something non-nerds pick up on.
