Hi Leander, I am also experiencing disappointing performance in darktable on a new Macbook Pro. Same model as yours I believe:
Mid 2015, 2.5 GHz Intel i7 16 GB Ram Intel Iris Pro AMD Radeon R9 M370X - 2 GB Ram When you enable OpenCL, and open an image in the darkroom module, doesn't it turn the photos green? It does on mine. There is a known bug: https://redmine.darktable.org/issues/10274 I would really like to compare the performance once OpenCL is enabled, but obviously I can't. At times, I experience major slow down in the darkroom module when simply editing 10 or so images. The more edits I make, the slower it gets. I think it happens mostly when using masks. It gets so slow, I can't click on any drop down menus or make further edits. Darktable just hangs. Do you experience this at all? Or just in the lighttable module? I was expecting a big performance increase from my older 2012 Macbook Pro, but that hasn't really been the case.
