OpenGL Slows Down Everything On Multi Instances

[Christoph Hart]

Yeah, my MacBook Air M1 is super slow with OpenGL enabled, but my PC is about 2-3x faster.

There's not much we can do about this except for letting the user switch if he realizes the interface is laggy.

Since M1 MacBooks use Metal, a Metal support (in Hise) would solve this issue.

@Christoph-Hart On M1 It’s Super fast,
On Mac It is Acceptable, on my Pc It is good, But On Multi instances I Had To Turn The OpenGL Off, And It’s Space rocket

This is a cure for that slow macOS GUI performance, not ideal but it works. :

Die-hard Mac users (like me) have known about this problem for a long time.
YouTube is full of videos about this problem.
My DAW manufacturer Studio One even recommended setting the colour profile to standard sRGB about 2 years ago.
Since then, however, I have never had a plug-in that lagged.
OpenGL on the Mac has not been updated since 2017 and is outdated.

Mac CPU Spikes Fixed with OpenGL > NO.

Not sure what Mac the YouTuber Guy uses, But The Heavy Cpu usage is Now Less than 5%.

Such a Biatch you’re OpenGL
I Need to repackage everything and set it to Off by default or My inbox will below Up with This Thing after release
