I just got a new MacBook Pro with the M3 Max chip, 64GB of RAM. It handles everything else like a dream, but my Pika renders are taking way longer than I expected.

I'm working with short clips, just a few seconds, using standard settings. My old Intel Mac wasn't much slower. Has anyone else run into this? I checked Activity Monitor and nothing else is really using the GPU. Could it be a setting I'm missing, or is there something about how Pika uses the Apple Silicon chips?
