It’s well known that writing Time Machine backups to storage is throttled to slow them down. What’s the point of using faster SSDs that are more expensive if macOS stops them from being fast
IOPOL_THROTTLE
How to plan and assemble faster backup systems for Time Machine, whether to change I/O policy, and how to minimise their size using exclusions.
How you can use the taskpolicy command to confine all the threads of a process to the E cores, as a brake, but there’s no accelerator in macOS.
Can you get Time Machine to back up faster by turning I/O throttling off? If so, it this something to do only for large backups, or can it be set as the default? Does it also affect other background processes?
