I’ve since landed on 4 x at once staggered with plotman so no more than two plots are in phase 1 at once. Getting 20 plots per day this way. I was running default ram (3389) and it was mainly fine but getting the OS warning about lack of application memory sometimes. To troubleshoot that I’ve reduced that to 3072 without an overall reduction in throughput. I think I will adjust it down again and try and find the point at which it does reduce speed and then leave it a bit above that.
Hi I’ve posted further information here Looking for feedback on M1 Mac Mini rig setup - #15 by basilhorowt for full information.
