I'm really afraid of that one. MacOS engineers don't have to worry about performance optimizations anymore, because the chips gobble it up anyway. Ever more powerful hardware is how we ended up with the awful performance of modern-day computing.

Yeah, spotlight has been rough for years, I grant you that.

I haven't seen a single ad in my system. Where do you see them?
