When two days ago Craig Federighi announced on stage at the Yerba Buena Center, Mavericks that with the MacBook would have enjoyed a longer battery life, I thought that the improvements would have been only a few minutes, and instead I had to think again.
My own experience has been confirmed in the study by John Siracusa of Ars Technica noted that as the battery life will grow on both the MacBook Pro than on the Air than using Mount Lion.
Since last June’s WWDC, Apple has focused heavily on the energy-saving features of the Mavericks, who Timer Coalescing, Compressed Memory, Nap App and Safari Power Saver: the first includes all the low-level operations of the CPU to a single action by reducing processor utilization up to 72%, the second compresses the latest jobs processed in order to reduce the use of swap memory (RAM when the memory becomes full, any operating system creates a swap file on the hard disk to use as a extension of the same, but with a lower speed and a higher-energy consumption), and the third freezes open software but do not have to perform tasks in the background, thanks to the fourth, Safari pauses plugins running on the open pages in tabs that do not ‘re viewing.
Also remember that Mavericks also makes older computers and fast performing and is an update that definitely recommends it to everyone, but checks the compatibility of the software with which you work normally before proceeding to the Update.
