Maybe there's hope.

I should have one this month unless shipping slips.

You guys see any problems here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_silicon/about_the_rosetta_translation_environment

This guy works for Apple:
--- Quote ---fun fact: retaining and releasing an NSObject takes ~30 nanoseconds on current gen Intel, and ~6.5 nanoseconds on an M1
…and ~14 nanoseconds on an M1 emulating an Intel 😇

Though, there is a caution:

I'm confused as to why you run one in the first place. To be very nice about it, you seem to be very dissatisfied with Apple. You also do not use their hardware, so you don't get the benefits of the whole platform.
In this particular thread, you don't seem to have anything good to say about their products. That's totally fine. I just wonder why you use them at all since you seem so down on their whole stack. Turn off your hackintosh. It's stealing anyway. You're not authorized to run their code on your own hardware.
To end this on a positive note, I *DO* agree with you that a Mac based installation of MC (on any hardware) is a poor home theater PC choice. I have tried it and it's no fun.
Brian.
