I love my M1, but does anyone else have horrific performance when resuming from wake? It’s like it swaps everything to disk and takes a full minute to come back to life.

I haven't noticed poor wake times, but my laptop does kernel panic and reboot a fair amount. Maybe 4 times in the past week. My hunch is that it's Spotify's fault but I haven't dug into the logs.

How does spotify panic the kernel itself?

Do you have it plugged into a monitor upon wake? How many programs do you have when it is resuming? I noticed this really infrequently.

I have a non-M1 with Big Sir and it takes more than full minute from sleep to usable.

I suspect it’s because I have five monitors and 20 million pixels (actually more as that’s the post-retina resolution).

A user-land program cannot be at fault for a kernel panic, that is the kernels fault, always.

Instant wake for me. However any time I come across a password field in a website the computer freezes for a painfully long 10 seconds or so while it presumably decrypts my password vault.

Sometimes this will happen multiple times per page load if I deselect and reselect the password field.

Anyone want to take a guess at how long it will be until Apple has their own fab in the US making M1 chips?

Not in the next 10 years. Why would they? Fabs are extremely capital-intensive and take years to get up and running, when (like Taiwan Semi) knows how to do it. Intel has shown how hard it can be to do this right. Let TSM work on production (and hopefully get more/larger fabs in the USA up and running) and getting better at packing in the transistors, and let Apple improve the design (and software).

Did you somehow accumulate a bajillion passwords?

This happens to me too, I’m using 1Password. I have a suspicion the plug-in is involved with this but I’ve not had time to collect evidence yet. Seems to be rare though, I’ve not spotted anybody else with this issue.

It way faster than my old macbook pro. But one thing is the external monitor won't be open upon resuming. I have to plug/unplug the cable to re-active the external monitor. It seems HDMI handshake was failed somehow
