Verbum performance on new MacBook Pro

I just got a new MacBook Pro 16" (work and pleasure)!

For you tech geeks, it's an M1 Max chip with 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 64GB 256-bit LPDDR5 memory. The memory is "unified" between GPU and CPU, 400GB/s bandwidth. I don't know what the SSD technology is, but it consistently gets almost 6000 Mb/s Read and Write on the Blackmagic tests.

I installed and ran Verbum - I am on the latest beta actually. I have 31,340 resources, and it did a rebuild index in only 1 hour 10 minutes 43 seconds according to the logs! And, the fans did not kick on once, nor does the top or bottom feel the least bit warm. Although as others have noted, Logos/Verbum does not nearly use all cores available. That would be a nice feature add since higher number of cores are becoming more commonplace. 

So there are now laptops out that can run Logos/Verbum at high performance with ease...

    If you look at LogosIndexer.log it will show how many threads are allocated, even if it doesn't use them all e.g. it used 4 out of 6 threads for 4 resources on my quad core laptop (you have to initiate logging before indexing starts).

    The only mention of threads in a create/allocate etc. context, twice it created 5 additional threads, and both times it stopped all 5. So I assume it starts with 1, meaning 6 total, and it didn't run with all 6 all the time? Or is there another message to look for that does not mention the word thread?
