I'm considering purchasing an m5 or m7 rMB and I'm curious to find out how Sierra may impact the performance of the machine. I understand that its problematic to gauge this of a beta, but has anyone seen a performance bump (or significant decrease) while using Sierra with the rMB?
Got a tip for us?

rMBP 2012 here, I find the performance to be the same. it freed up 20 GB so that's always helpful. I do notice some pages in Chrome freeze for a few seconds occasionally. it's annoying but doable.
I have the 2016 m5 MacBook. Installed Sierra the day the Public Beta came out. Performance seems about the same. No issues at all. Haven't even noticed any bugs either, but I haven't used much other than Safari and Photos really. I can confirm that for me also, it inexplicably freed up about 20-25 GB.
I have the latest m5 13-inch rMBP. No performance issues from the UI. Only slow down is Safari loading webpages. Nothing happens for perhaps 1 - 1.5 seconds, which seems like an age, then suddenly the webpage will load -- a delay rather than an issue rendering the images / webpage.
