[Slow to load Sony .ARW files]

For which RAW engine, the Serif RAW engine or the Apple one? - Does switching the RAW engine over to the other on MacOS (aka Serif -> Apple) give you the same timings here?

I tried both Serif and Apple's RAW engines and both are slow, Apple's slight worse off.

My results using the supplied ARW, using Serif engine and hardware acceleration enabled, on an Intel iMac running Monterey 12.6.2:

AP 1.10.6 = 2 seconds

AP 2.0.3 = 7 seconds

Far from the above figures, even after trying out the above suggestions. 🥲

Can we have one of your sample RAW files to test?

(You can upload one to the forum)

[Slow to load Sony .ARW files]

I am attempting to load RAW (.ARW) files from my Sony Alpha One camera. It takes almost 12-15s to load a single .ARW file the app hangs (or seemingly forever). If I simultaneously attempt to load more than one file, it will take almost 40s or more to load and display the first file, the remainder of the files will randomly load afterwards, but the loading time is extended, often taking over 1 minute between successive files. I have both a Sony Alpha One and a Sony A7Riii. The .ARW files on both take as long to load.
