Exactly. I've been using my note-taking app (of which Plume is built on) since 2014, so I have 4850 notes in total, and it's still rock solid and fast.

Another plus of efficient software is that my 2017 Macbook Air actually loads text ~2x faster than the best competitor (Bike) on a 2021 M1 Pro (with much more performance)

2017 MacBook Air:

Plume: 0.8 seconds

Bike: 3.46 seconds

MacBook M1 Pro:

Plume: 0.3 seconds

Bike: 1.5 seconds

That alone says a lot.

> For what its worth, I'd recommend explaining all of that with the benchmark explanation. "Measured on a 2017 macbook air with the text of War and Peace". Seeing Bear crash doesn't really tell me enough about whats going on.

Thanks for letting me know. Do you have a suggestion for how to convey it better?
