Absolutely. I’ve found that CPU power management alone can make a huge difference in thermals and responsiveness. Pair that with proper GPU acceleration and NVMe SSDs, and your system feels almost like a real Mac. Also, USB mapping is often overlooked but critical—misconfigured ports can introduce noticeable latency. Iterative tuning really pays off; even small kext or SMBIOS adjustments can significantly boost stability and speed.
