I bet somehow, I'd still manage to get it to beachball on everyday common stuff like loading an IDE or Safari or something...

  Used both in an M1 Mac. Haven’t seen the beach ball yet (VSCode and multiple windows of safari)

    I've been using Macs for 13-14 years, and each upgrade to the 'newest and fastest and most powerful' I think 'hmm... maybe this will stop beach balling'. But it doesn't. Mind you, I only have an 8 core 2.3ghz with ssd and a mere 16gig of ram - I'm sure the 'powerful' Macs won't have this problem. But I also mostly hear from people who never experience beach balls ever, and I can't figure out what they're doing. I did see a guy with an m1 in our coworking space who hit a beach ball last week while showing me something, so I know it's not just me or my various hardware. but perhaps its more rare?

    Do you ever see battery use differences between running VSCode and without on the M1?

  That sounds more like an OS than a CPU problem.
