Exploring System76's New Rust Based Desktop Environment
It's really shitty of them to not expose this to the user directly through system preferences but you can specify custom resolutions (with "retina") using /Library/Displays/Contents/Resources/Overrides/ and an undocumented binary format. https://github.com/usr-sse2/RDM does that for you thankfully.

5800x3d appears faster after waking up then on cold boot.
If HPET is not an option in firmware, then it is disabled (0x00) and hidden from you. Which in practice is bad. The only option for users in this case is to download your firmware from the vendor, use this tool to locate the register and set the value with this tool to enabled (0x01).
