Early 2013, Retina MPB, UI performance benchmarking and review

[splitpea]

As an update on this, 10.8.3 greatly improved the UI performance for me...

Would you be willing to quantify? The frame rate numbers earlier in the thread are extremely informative.

With the last 10.8.3 update the text even at 1920 x 1200 (15" rMBP, of course) becomes noticeably smoother and crisper at the same time. It was fuzzier prior to the update. I'm running mine @ 1920 exclusively. I've never even considered 1440 x 900 because as I did with my old MBP, I find at that scaling the desktop is pretty much unusable (for what I do).

1440x900 is great for normal use because it's everything well-sized and your eyes do not have to suicide.

1680x1050 is great while working on Premiere Pro.

How many FPS do you need to be able to work on a spreadsheet effectively?

How about enough to be able to quickly scroll through thousands of rows and skim the data in them as they go by so you know where to stop?

Will do some more benchmarking this weekend and post the results.
