I’m getting a lot of hanging with large sketches. I’ve had to force quit it 3-4 times in two days of using it.

But yeah, performance on apple silicon is impressive. When it works.

… chiming in on the native Apple Si version. The speed improvement is night and day difference. I’m on a M1 Max notebook and currently working with a large assembly imported from SW. Even small changes were getting slow enough to get up and stretch while it was thinking. No hint of even a pause so far with the insider release on anything.

Either way, I at my age, would find it difficult to make customer requested mods. 60 years younger with my better memory then it would have been much easier.
