Running scripts on Apple M1 Efficiency Cores
I will probably wonder how to do this again at some point in the future. So here it goes - this is how to run a command on the efficiency cores on a macOS machine.
taskpolicy -c background COMMAND
# to sync my mail, which triggered this to begin with
taskpolicy -c background mbsync -aq
I haven't done any measurements on mbsync to see if it improves anything or not, but this just Feels Rightâ„¢ so I wrote it down.
