Cold start of Electron, MS office, Affinity (all ARM versions) takes me north of 15". 8GB M1 Mini, so maybe that makes the situation worse.

  Affinity Photo starts in 15 seconds on my M1, which IMO is not okay. It's just as slow as on my Haswell Intel Mac. Everything else launches in a second or so. Spotify (Electron) draws a window in three seconds, but takes another four to display all content.

    For comparison, I have a maxed out current gen 16" Intel MBP and Affinity takes 25 seconds to launch.

      Not sure what's causing the difference but it launches in 4 seconds for me. I have the base model 16" MBP.

  I have the 8GB M1 as my daily driver, the only apps that take a long time for me (but NOWHERE NEARE 15 seconds - maybe close to 5, but I'm not counting) are visual studio Mac (which is probably rosetta), Unity (which IS rosetta) and blender (also rosetta).
