Move shared_ptr to constructor initialization list

Question

Recently, I saw several examples of such code where std :: move was used in the constructor initialization list (do not move the constructor).

class A {
public:
    A(std::shared_ptr<Res> res) : myRes(std::move(res)) {
    // ...
    }

private:
    std::shared_ptr<Res> myRes;
}

I received information that this design was made for optimization reasons. Personally, I use std :: move as little as possible. I threaten them as actors (as Scott Meyers said), and only in the caller code (only exception is the move constructor). For me, it looks like some kind of obfuscation or micro-optimization, but maybe I'm wrong. Is it true the compiler does not produce faster code without std :: move?
