Performance degradation: Significant latency/lag in OWS (macOS Sequoia)

[swittlich]

Description

A user has reported severe performance issues when using OWS on a high-end MacBook Pro. The application becomes nearly unresponsive, with actions taking approximately one minute to process after a click.

Current Behavior

Latency: Every click results in a delay of about 1 minute before the system reacts.
Stability: The application "hangs" constantly during regular use.
Error Messages: There are no error messages or crash reports being displayed; the application simply hangs/freezes during processing.

Environment Data

The user provided the following system specifications:
Model: MacBook Pro 16-inch (Nov. 2024)
Chip: Apple M4 Pro
Memory: 24 GB RAM
OS: macOS Sequoia 15.2

Currently, we only have one user who is experiencing this problem on a Mac. We have not been able to identify any other configuration on a MacBook Air where everything works.

On my Mac (M1, 8GB) machine everything runs super smooth. But I noticed some import resolve issues, which I have fixed for the upcoming update. Probably not related, but maybe the user here installed the x64 version instead of the arm version? Even that should not cause catastrophic lag...

If possible, please provide some context (plugins used) and see if the issue persists on the new release (0.21.21)

This concerns the Arm64 installer from OWS. No plugin is required for lag to occur. Even the Pin Planner is unusable. All other apps function flawlessly and without lag. Even reinstalling does not resolve the issue, but as mentioned, this only occurs on this Mac.

I can't reproduce this on my machine (M1 Mac). Since we added code signing recently, mabye a clean reinstall can fix this
