SL Performance (M1 MacBook) Parallels

Hi, 

I've been using SL at work for a while, and have decided to go solo and download it on my home computer. I have an M1 MacBook so have downloaded it to my virtual machine (parallels). 

It seems to run well on first glance but I am noticing that the trigger wizard is very slow to open and use, as well as other bits and bobs. Does anyone know of any reasons for this or fixes I can try as I'm afraid it will slow my workflow down and make the experience of using SL not very enjoyable. I love my Mac and it is lighting quick with native apps on Mac OS.

The specs of this Mac are great and I have allocated the VM with 8gb ram and 6 cores.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey Steven, not just improved performance in trigger wizard, but increased responsivity  in publishing and saving files as well.  I can't speak on behalf of the large community of creative unicorns who incorporate Storyline into their Mac workflow, but I can tell you its larger than you guys thought and I for one am grateful beyond words that you took our issue seriously.

    Couple of months rigorous use.  Some detailed feedback I think you'll find valuable. 

    I think we could still improve performance, on application launch and file loading, and we did get a significant bump in trigger wizard performance, but I still think it could be better, I just don't think we should close the book on supporting this feature and further optimizing it.
