(moderation:
A new MacOS Intel App is available from our Beta Test page.
This App is part of a new generation of Apps that follow our attempts to track down and fix the remaining problems of the new software we're using since S5R2. It has the same codebase as the 4.33 Windows App, thus basically the same features.
For the "SIN/COS LUT" it uses a variant using ftol(), which showed to be fastest in the previous Beta App.
Please test and report.

What does "slow" mean here? I thought that the 4.36 is a little faster than the official 4.19, and that the MacOS Intel App is the fastest of our Apps anyway (on the same hardware). Am I wrong?

RE: 4.36 is about 1000

Sorry, I missed that.
Surprisingly, the time-critical analysis code should be exactly the same as in the 4.26 App. Maybe the previously "not so time-critical" parts have gotten that much slower? I didn't notice a slowdown for the corresponding Windows App change, though. I'll investigate.

WARNING: Probably switching
)
WARNING: Probably switching back to the official App by simply removing the app_info.xml doesn't work anymore since we enabled verify_files_on_app_start. Sorry, we didn't think about this side effect for Beta tests. I'll see if there's any non-destructive way of switching back to the official App path from the Beta.
For now I recommend to NOT remove the app_info.xml while you have tasks in progress with more than, say, 5% done.
