You mean like how 8GB RAM in my Mini results in prolonged swap pauses with 3 apps open?
To be fair, M1 MacBook Pro with 32GB is smooth as silk with ~20 apps open.
- lockhouse 3y agoWhich 3 apps on the Mini? I’ve actually been really impressed with my base model M1 Mini. I’ve been able to use XCode, Safari, iMessage, and Music playing without many noticeable hiccups at all.
- CodeWriter23 3y agoChrome, PHPstorm, OpenSCAD, Cura. I lied, 4 apps. My point though is, doesn’t matter how fast your RAM is if you run out and have to swap out.
- lockhouse 3y agoOh yeah JetBrains IDEs definitely need more RAM than Xcode. Likewise with Chrome versus Safari. I’m not familiar with OpenSCAD and Cura.

- zerohp 3y agoOpenSCAD is a problem even with 96GB ram. Something is very wrong with their build on Apple Silicon. It works fine for me on other platforms.
- CodeWriter23 3y agoI've been having acceptable experience with it on my 32GB M1 MBP with the Apple Silicon build. I admit though, I don't use it as much on my work laptop as my home mini.
