I have a brand new MacBook Pro M3 Max with 16 cores, 48GB ram and 1 TB SSD. Chief is often using 50-80%+ of my RAM. It is often at 100%+ CPU utilization. How can I reduce these so it doesn't stop my computer? I have turned off ray tracing, for one thing. My plan and layout is around 100 MB, which doesn't seem huge.
Moving things around on layout (set to update on demand only) takes 10-15 seconds each. Updating a 3d rendering can take a minute. It can't raytrace more than two samples per second. This is a fast machine, this app should not be so slow. The computer is a week old. I bought it specifically to use Chief because my Intel iMac was even slower.
