Everyone agrees that M1 is a very fast chip, much faster than the current Intel chips shipping with Macbooks.
And yet: when I trigger the native "Open File" dialog from IDEA, it still takes MacOS up to a second to verify permissions on a list of directories and mark them as available.
So, given that:
- M1 is blazingly fast
- modern SSDs pump GBs of data per second
- RAM on M1 is almost literally a part of the CPU, and the bandwidth of modern RAM is also GBs per second
why does it take up to a second to verify permissions on a list of five directories?
> Unicode ... Wifi ... Trackpads ...
None of these require GBs of RAM and 16-core processors to barely run.
