New Macbook Air M2 - PM still slow to zoom - need advice

[Dave Panno]

Hi all -

I am in a bit of shock.

I shoot raw + jpeg (Sony A7R3 and R4).

On my old MacBook it would zoom immediately but it would take a couple of seconds to fully render and become sharp.

I assumed that my new Air with M2 (10 core - 16 GB - 1 TB) would completely eliminate that but it persists !

How do I get the image to open to 100% and render immediately.  Culling takes forever with the delay.

Does sharpen previews slow things down?

Incidentally - I have little else open - a couple of Chrome tabs.

Please help me sort this - Thanks

There are a few Preferences that we would like to know how you have them set.

First, is "Enable RAW Rendering" enabled in the Render Cache section of Preferences?
Next, in the Caching section of Preferences what values do you have set for "Disk Cache", "Reserve at least", and the "Memory Cache" slider?
In the same Preference pane, is the Cache located anywhere other than the default location of: ~/Library/Caches/Photo Mechanic?
