The computers are fast, but you don't know it

Switching between spaces on this M1 takes multiple seconds. It's almost unbearable.

My 8-core 64GB Windows machine fares no better.

Switching between OLVWM desktops on my 200MHz Pentium Pro twenty years ago was instantaneous.

Weird. I don't use Spaces (this is the multiple desktops thing, right?) but I've just tried it and it's not laggy at all for me. I turn on the reduce motion thing, so it fades between them rather than swiping, but neither feel laggy.

(I'm on an M1 Air and I think the performance is great)

I’m fairly certain this is because the average quality of the people building this stuff has gone down.

Any idea what it’s doing during those several seconds?

It’s just a too long animation.

What are all the apps you have open? Perhaps your use case is far more memory-intensive than mine.
