Optimisation for MacOs
"Hi Capacities Team,
I've been using your software for 2 months and I'm very pleased.
I purchased the pro version for a year — it's almost amazing.
However, I've noticed significant RAM consumption that impacts
performance when running your app alongside other professional
software (CAD, design tools, web apps).
I notice your app runs 3 simultaneous processes. Are you planning
to optimize this, or is this an architectural limitation?
Attached are Activity Monitor samples showing the memory usage.
Thanks for your time.
Best regards,
Vincent

Thanks for sharing these detailed samples and your setup, this is helpful. Performance and resource usage on desktop (including macOS) is an active focus for us and we’re continuously shipping improvements in this area: https://capacities.io/whats-next. We’ll use reports like this to guide further optimization work, but there is no specific timeline we can share for individual improvements.
