Slow calculations on Mac M1 and M2 processors ( > 2.9.7)

[tapajyoti-ghosh]

Updating AB

• Yes, I have updated AB and still experience this issue

What happened?

Between version 2.9.7 and 2.10.1, there was an update that resulted in extreme slow calculations on Mac m1 and m2 processors. LCA that generally takes 2 seconds or less take around 1 minute. Sankey diagrams take 120 seconds. We have updated our AB but this issue remains. Please help.

[mrvisscher]

And you're saying that calculations used to be quick on these M1/M2 processors before? Because, as far as I know, fast calculations on ARM through scikit-umfpack are only supported by Brightway25.

[tapajyoti-ghosh]

Yes the versions 2.9.7 - I get extremely fast calculation. I have tested on my colleague's M2 and she has the same issue.
