Does/will Swift take advantage of "Metal' in the new Mac OS X operating system

Metal will help a little, but Zwift isn’t really bottlenecked by the API at the moment so I wouldn’t expect it to show too much of an improvement.  The slowest part of a mac in general is the GPU, and in Zwift’s case the fill-rate of the GPU is particularly important - that is something that will be totally unaffected by Metal.
