![]() IMO the minor performance difference in Intel-Mac VM versus Intel-Mac natively booting Windows is worth it to be able to do your Mac side work (like writing) at the same time. Nothing like the bad old days when VMs actually had to translate architecture from PowerPC to x86 causing a massive problem for speed. ![]() But in my experience the speed difference with a VM vs natively booting the partition wasn't huge with Intel Macs (so long as you had enough physical RAM to avoid thrashing). Or just reboot the Mac into Windows natively. Nothing is as fast as running it natively on a similarly specced machine. The entire workflow would take over a week to process for all 30 states. One of the scripts in the workflow would have to go through every vertex in every feature in all of BLM's PLSS data (at the township and section levels). I was running a suite of custom scripts I wrote for my master's thesis. I'm talking heavy lifting processes, not your every day clip, merge, project. And even then, unlikely you were running truly intense geoprocessing.
