Performance issues on Mac M1?

Hello everybody.

I’m using 3D Slicer 4.11.20210226 (latest at time of writing) on my Windows PC without any performance issues, and I can segment CT scans (thorax, abdomen, wrists, etc) without any performance issues. Unfortunately I’m experiencing severe performance issues with the same version, and also 4.13.0-2022-03-15, on my MacBook Pro M1 (2020, 16 GB, macOS Monterey 12.3). I’m getting either a ever-lasting spinning beach ball or it crashes. I’ve tried it without any plugins.

To other Mac/M1 users, are you experiencing any of these issues, or is there some fix for it? I know Slicer is using 3rd party applications that (yet) is not ported to Apple Silicon, and if there are no known fixes I’ll continue working on a Windows PC.

In advance, thank you!
