- Repo aims to test APFS performance issues on macOS and serves as a stress test for file system events.
- Setup requires Node >= 22.11, pnpm >= 10.2, and cloning the repo followed by dependency installation.
- Commands provided for clean and install tests on different OS (macOS, Windows, Linux) with timing instructions.
- Performance data table includes CPU, RAM, clean/install times, OS, file system, disk, and software changes.
- macOS APFS shows slower performance compared to Linux ext4, especially with encryption and security tools.
- Options to improve macOS file system performance: RAM disk, OverlayFS via Docker, or using a Linux VM.
