You can activate this by choosing "Get Info" on the main KiCad application and checking the option that says "Open in Low Resolution".  You may need to do the same for the other applications (Eeschema, pcbnew, etc) as well.

testing on my 2017” touch-bar MBP … 

Good g-d, low-res mode looks fuzzy and weird!

I don’t notice any specific differences in EESchema performance. Maybe my schematic isn’t busy enough? I’m a fan of using more smaller sheets with less info on each than one big sheet with everything.

I know, anecdote is not evidence.
