I am testing a M4 pro Mac mini. Logos in general does not seem to have a significant speed bump over my M1 Mac mini or my MacBook Air. It is somewhat faster but not always and not always significantly faster when it is faster. Though It does seem a bit more responsive (but not necessarily worth the upgrade money faster)

Visual copy is an excellent example. My M1 MacBook Air will actually outperform the m4 pro Mac mini in visual copy. I did a series of tests. The MacBook Air would create Mark 1:1 in a little under 3 seconds whereas the M4 Pro Mac mini (connected to two 4k screens) would take almost 6 seconds. I did connect the MacBook Air to an external monitor and it still essentially tied the Mac mini in creation time.

I am surprised by these results and am now wondering what actually affects the performance of such tools as Visual Copy.
