README.md

Tested in MacOS Sonomia 14.5 (VMware-Workstation-Full-17.6.2-24409262.x86_64), I believe that works to another version

  1. Restart your Mac if it already started

  2. Enter in Recovery mode

  3. Go to "Utilities" on top of macOS bar and open the terminal

  4. Disable SIP (System Integrity Protection) with the command csrutil disable at your own risk!

  5. Leave Recovery mode and go to the macOS system again

  6. Open the terminal and use the sudo nvram boot-args="serverperfmode=1 $(nvram boot-args 2>/dev/null | cut -f 2-)", if need to input your macOS password to authorize the operation

  7. Check if changes were applied with nvram boot-args

  8. Repeat steps 1 ~ 3 to enable SIP again if you want to enable

  9. Digit the command csrutil enable

  10. Finish, can go to the macOS system again
