I can concur. One thing that absolutely tanks the frame rate is maximum summoner gear. Stardust armor set, all three of the summon boosting accessories, and a Stardust Dragon rod, the frame rate dips as low as about 10fps.

And I verified with iStat Menus that the GPU is barely hitting 75% on my 8 core GPU Mac mini, while the game is absolutely pegged at 100% of a CPU core, and doesn't really take advantage of multiple cores to improve performance.

So even a fully loaded M1 Ultra Mac Studio would not really improve the situation for this game, at all. Really, the only thing that ReLogic can do is try to port the game to Apple Silicon native, which should fix things significantly, at least.
