I have a 2013 Macbook pro (Intel I7) and I have no issues with rendering times.
I use BIAB MAc (latest) outside of Logic. IOW, not the plugin
I find this separate approach no great inconvenience to my workflow but understand it may bother others

One thing I have noticed is that rendering time are orders of magnitude difference if you are saving to an Icloud drive vice a local drive. This may may not explain your particular problem, but it might.

This whole M chip Rosetta nonsense is a real throwback to the 80's. I feel for those who are slugging through it.

Personally I'm holding off on an M chip upgrade Till BIAB runs native on it.
