    Does MacOS thermal throttle? Bootcamp question

    Hello Haven't posted much here in awhile I have a 2011 Macbook Pro (6GB, 2.4 i5, 500GB HDD) I noticed that under Mac OSX 10.11.6, i get reduced performance, but under Windows 7 Home with Bootcamp, the performance is significantly increased. Does MacOS thermal throttle, whereas windows does not?
