Worth noting, this landed a patch that moves some of the UI work to Core Animation on MacOS[1]. More work will happen that builds on top of this, but some reports in that ticket are promising already.

Moving from OpenGL to Core Animation has required a huge amount of work, but even at this early stage (before many of the changes in progress land) the power savings and performance gains are already significant.

Good work, and much appreciated!
