##### Performance #### Performance
macOS throttles Time Machine services to keep the OS more responsive, which can result in slower backups. You can disable this behavior with `sudo sysctl debug.lowpri_throttle_enabled=0`. This can be useful during the first backup, since it can involve transferring hundreds of gigabytes. After executing the command you should immediately notice higher disk and CPU usage and increased network activity. Time Machine's remaining time should also decrease drastically. macOS throttles Time Machine services to keep the OS more responsive, which can result in slower backups.
