Why is tar so slow to create a tar.gzip archive on a fast Apple silicon Mac? Is it being run at low QoS on the E cores? An explanation.

How your Mac can use less energy and power, run its battery down less, generate less heat, and keep its P cores for the work you want it to do for you.
These updates feature overhauled windows, new app icons for compatibility with Tahoe, and have been rebuilt. LogUI gets a minor tweak that should improve its window controls in Tahoe.
Why pay an extra $600 for a 2 TB internal SSD, after all fast external SSDs are cheaper. Maybe you need to check whether disk performance becomes a rate-limiting factor.
Discovering whether using more threads makes a task faster gives insight into where its performance is limited. How to use a VM to investigate this.
How could you study how Apple silicon CPU cores are used to run code? Comparisons between Activity Monitor, Xcode Instruments, and powermetrics.
Extended attribute editor with much enhanced interface, app inspection tool, compression tool designed for AirDrop use, and a simple extended attribute editor for Spotlight search.
Now has three presets to control speed and energy consumption of compression and decompression, together with complete custom control.
If apps control the Quality of Service, which sets how macOS allocates them to different processor cores in an M1 chip, how can we have any control?
Running processes at different Quality of Service affects their performance differently on Intel and M1 Macs. This explains what happens.
