Hello, I am using Toad in a Windows 11 VM (Parallels), but on a M3 MacBook Pro (64GB Ram). I also tested the Mac version and then decided to continue using the Windows version for three reasons. 1. It runs really well. I have no performance problems whatsoever. 2. The Mac version is also an Intel binary, which is executed with the help of Crossover and Rosetta (AFAIK). However, it has been a year since I tested the Mac version and at that time it still had some bugs and the performance was worse than in the Windows VM.
