I don't know of any changes from ChimeraX 1.8 to 1.9 that would have increased GPU or CPU use. You could use Mac Activity Monitor and try the same movie recording in ChimeraX 1.8 and 1.9 to see if there is any difference. I suspect you won't see any. Tom

Dear ChimeraX users! I am testing the new ChimeraX 1.9 release, via creating a short movie demonstrating an X-ray structure with basic features (without molecular dynamics). I noticed that my computer (using an Apple Silicon chip) gets quite hot during the frame rendering process (prior to encoding). In the previous release (1.8), the resource usage didn't seem as intense. Have there been any changes or optimizations in the new version that could explain this increased resource demand?
Thank you in advance!
