[QUOTE="blackice, post: 930746, member: 79035"] So far, for anyone curious, benchmarking shows approximately 1-1.5% decline in performance vs M$ Defender. This is small, but seemingly repeatable. Occasionally it’s smaller, but it never performs better than it did before. That is a negligible difference, and still ‘may’ be within the margin of error, but seems consistent. Testing was done with an R7 5800x and 32GB DDR4 3600 CL16 and a NVME C: drive, so on something like a laptop or older 4 core CPU it may or may not be more noticeable. But most people don’t usually use their CPU at full tilt for long stretches so anywhere from 1-5% of performance loss isn’t going to be noticed outside of CPU heavy workloads, or heavy multitasking. Just thought I’d share what I’ve seen performance wise. As with any testing variations in hardware and software can influence outcomes, so use this as one of many data points. [/QUOTE]
