Hopefully this helps someone.

If you are getting very blurry graphics on an external monitor using your HDMI connection on your MacBook Pro Retina, check out this thread. It fixed the problem for me. (Not sure why Apple hasn't noticed it yet)

Probably it's not something they test. Did you report it on the feedback form or Radar?
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

What feedback form?
What is Radar?

I did stop into the Genius bar, who claimed it was "normal" to have blurry text on an external display when you had a Retina display. (and in a way it is ... at least by default, but that doesn't mean it's right)

Radar is Apple's bug tracking database.

Yes, Radar is Apples bug tracker. You need a dev account to report though, so you might as well use the feedback form here.
