Anyone run MW yet on an M1 processor?
Good to know.I'm using MW on macOS 11.6 M1 (macbook air and mac mini) with Rosetta. It's just works fine for me. MacBook Air has only 8GB RAM. Mac Mini has 16GB. It should be fine to use without Rosetta. It's depend on JDK.
It should be amazing. I'm very new MW user but it was love for first sightGood to know.
Java 17 shows support for macOS / AArch64. I assume the MW dev team is planning to release the platform version that would support the M1 without Rosetta.
Too bad, was hoping for a bigger improvement.I'm running MW on a M1 Max w/24 GPU.
Short answer is it works but not much of an improvement.
Compared to my old i7-1065g7 and integrated graphics it's a bit faster.
There's still cursor lag even when I just open MW. There's still loading lag for tick charts and volume imprint/cumulative delta etc. But it's faster than the intel.
do you change any custom memory settings in the advanced menu on startup? I would want to experiment giving motivewave 32GB memory, etc to see how it all handles it -- especially with the super fast memory of M1 Max. could also tune garbage collection and cores usedI'm running MW on a M1 Max w/ 24 GPU w/ 32GB RAM.

Compared to my old i7-1065g7 and integrated graphics it's a bit faster. Compared to the M1 (2020), it's slightly faster as well. i7 < M1 < M1 Max.

The benefit seems to be the ability to run things outside of MW without lag. I can now screen record using OBS at 4k without impacting MW, something I couldn't do on the i7 and M1.
MW uses approx 30% CPU and will generally hangs around 500MB of ram, but I've seen to spike to 2GB. I'm running 21 charts. Some of those are tick charts, some are TPO, some have CD and Volume Imprint.
Edit: Added more details.
The memory footprint is way smaller, before it was like 4GB, now it's under 1GB with the same chart openThanks for sharing. Any notable performance wise improvement?
cheers.
