   I think by high-performance they mean something closer to raw computing   
   speed... which Linux generally excels at.   
      
   Even with this there are exceptions: APFS is tuned to lots of small file   
   modifications, as is often seen with their versioning system -- though with   
   many other tasks ext4 (and others) are faster. Of course, the broad strokes I   
   speak of benefits are the same for macOS... I am sure there are exceptions   
   where Linux "wins" there.
