   Nobody uses macOS in “high-performance” applications. Back when Apple   
   sold servers (the “XServe”, if you remember those), I remember a   
   review which ran the identical workload on the identical version of   
   MySQL, with one set of trials under OS X server, and the other under   
   Linux, on the same Apple hardware.   
      
   Linux handily beat Apple’s “server” OS.

   Interesting that a full-function Linux kernel, with its advanced   
   network stack, containerization, resource management etc can be   
   considered “lightweight” ...   
      
   Makes you wonder what a resource hog the less-functional macOS must be   
   ...
