Hi all, I have two development workstations, with the setup description as below which for the sake of clarity I will label A and B.
Problem: In A I'm able to run an iPhone 14 pro Max (16.4) simulator smoothly and without any issues. In B, it's unusable. Not only does it take several minutes to boot up, it is also pretty much unresponsive, sluggish and slow. The difference in hardware cannot account for this absurd disparity in behaviour, so something is definitely off. I monitored the memory pressure in both cases and it is pretty much similar.
We are not talking about a specific project / app, it is just about opening up the Simulator. Period.
Any help would be appreciated.
Setup A where things are smooth:
- Model Name: MacBook Pro
- Model Identifier: MacBookPro17,1
- Model Number: Z11B00282PO/A
- Chip: Apple M1
- Total Number of Cores: 8 (4 performance and 4 efficiency)
- Memory: 8 GB
- macOS: 13.3.1-arm64
- CLT: 14.3.0.0.1.1679647830
- Xcode: 14.3
- Rosetta 2: false
Setup B where things are unusable:
- Model Name: iMac
- Model Identifier: iMac18,2
- Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Core i5
- Processor Speed: 3,4 GHz
- Number of Processors: 1
- Total Number of Cores: 4
- L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
- L3 Cache: 6 MB
- Memory: 8 GB
- macOS: 13.3.1-x86_64
- CLT: 14.3.0.0.1.1679647830
- Xcode: 14.3
Thank you,
