Re: Performance Comparison GWT Transpiler with MacBook Pro M1 Pro processor

I kinda like the Max 64GB.  I'm pushing 54GB used for eclipse (running an appengine dev and GWT server) during a build.  My upload to google cloud is slow so after the build I can easily start developing again while it's deploying.

I also use a ramdisk and set the GWT SuperDev mode to use that with  -workDir /Users/me/.tmpdisk/GWT_RAM_DISK.  Then build with an ant task and add this to the gwtc java task for building.

<sysproperty key="gwt.persistentunitcachedir" value="/Users/me/.tmpdisk/GWT_RAM_DISK"/>

No benchmarks but probably the biggest benefit is debugging which I still do in Eclipse via SDGB.

I haven't been able to get Eclipse to run natively as macOS AArch64 is only available from the 2021-12 version which just borks my project.  It seems to be a conflict with the google-cloud-plugin I use for appengine.  Still 2021-09 with emulated Eclipse is a major improvement especially since the dev server and build processes can be run natively.

Anyway, 32GB on a pro ordered today is about a month to get delivery and 64GB on a max is about two months.  I got a 64GB max with 32 GPUs (maybe I can use those for machine learning) as it was the only way to get more than 16GB of memory without waiting so long and I had to move suddenly and couldn't bring my iMac.

No, sorry ... closed source. Yep, I agree with. Don't think, that the graphics CPUs will have an impact of the compile time.

So, the M1 Pro is a great choice for developers. Now I am waiting for the next Mac Pro ...

I did some tests with one of my larger GWT projects. It takes 3:55 on my "old" MacBook Pro 16" i9 2.4 GHz, 64 GB RAM. Same project build on a new MacBook Pro M1 Max 64 GB takes roundabout 2:00. That's an incredible improvement. 

Is that project public? Then I would try it with my M1 Pro 32gb which is IMHO the best value for developers, unless you do graphics stuff.
