Some notes from the Changelog:

"This update introduces low-level CD Block emulation, an optional major feature that significantly improves accuracy. Additionally, this release features a simple automatic update check that you can opt-in, SH-2, M68000 and SCU DMA timing accuracy improvements and a handful of the usual bug fixes.

The build system has been upgraded to support more complex libraries such as curl and OpenSSL. These libraries enable implementation of HTTP web requests, which allows Ymir to check for updates directly from GitHub releases (like the one you're reading right now). Because of these changes, the macOS build has been split into x86_64 and ARM64 builds instead of an universal package.

This version also fixes a known issue in version 0.1.8 related to the rewind buffer.

The CD Block LLE changes have not introduced any breaking changes to the save state file structure -- 0.2.0 is still compatible with 0.1.x save states."

I'd say it's mostly on par, and depending on what, it's surpassing it

I'm surprised that Ymir continues to polish and optimize the performance although in compatibility it's ok but it's little by little and Ymir is having a good path in terms of development.
