Apple M1 Performance Decreased?

I have upgraded to v4 and my performance on my Mac M1 Mini 16GB RAM has been reduced significantly, compared to before.

I also am running Sonoma 14.1.

Is anyone else encountering this issue? What percentage of RAM usage should I put for this version?

AppleSilicon performance has in fact been considerably reduced - but this already before with the 3.5.x versions.

Only little difference between the last 3.5.x version and 4.x here.

Was you running Sonoma release on prior versions ?

The speed drop is not due to Sonoma itself.
Iris ran the same speed on Sonoma as on the previous OS Version - there were visible glitches, yes, but even those you could circumvent via running TVAI „under Rosetta“ and this without really a speed loss.

Then they updated and the speed was halved.

Similar with Iris V2 which primarily was as fast as Iris V1 before the speed-hampering fix on Sonoma but then also got very slow after another fix for visible glitches pn certain configurations.

So is this software not optimized to run on Sonoma?

Can I achieve the original (faster) speeds by running this software on a previous Mac OS?

Thanks,

No. As said this is NOT due to Sonoma but due to fixes for glitches with certain configurations.

Sonoma + Iris model before the fix = high speed
Sonoma + updated Iris model after the fix = inferior speed

Unfortunately that way those that weren’t affected by the bug were „punished“, too.
