The other interesting part of the benchmark is the i7-8559U (Coffee Lake, 4C8T, 2.7GHz) macOS vs i7-8750H (Coffee Lake, 6C12T, 2.2GHz) Ubuntu, on a single-threaded benchmark ("We are going to adopt parallel testing for our dev environments this year").

MacOS took 1.6x as long as Ubuntu, despite a 1.2x GHz advantage, for an overall 1.9x slowdown core-per-core on the same microarchitecture.

Would you like 2x performance? Just replace macOS with Ubuntu.
