Oh dear, that does not sound very promising. Seems like the simulation results mentioned in this article might not be so outlandish, and rather a relevant potential worst-case scenario projection: https://www.quantamagazine.org&#

Welp, tried the experimental ARM build of this one (for M1 mac) and am pretty impressed by the boost, really quite something that they already have a decent jab at native support in such a short time. Also, blender really does just keep get
