Maybe installing Linux on the macbook will fix it?

I don't remember were I read it but previous intel graphic cards were
working right in Mac.
Leaving aside OpenCL, I think latest dt (2.0.5) uses a GTK version
which doesn't work well with Mac (bad perfomance and usability problems).

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
<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.

I'm currently running Darktable 2.0.5 on two systems. One is a
Linux Mint 18 box with an 5930K, 32GB of RAM and GTX 970. The
other is a new MacBook Pro retina I recently picked up with the
mobile 2.8Ghz i7, 16GB of RAM and R9 M370X/Iris Pro. I've have
the default core settings on both as far as memory and threads
go. I've fed about 40K images to it on both machines (I keep my
files synced with rsync over the network) and the Linux box
absolutely flies. The lighttable module is like butter as they
say. Adjustments in are quick too.
However on the Mac it's become rather slow. Every once in a while
I'll blow away my .config/darktable/library.db file and let it
rebuild overnight. This seems to help for a short time but then
things just get bogged down again eventually. The library.db
files on each machine are stored on SSDs. It's always been
slightly slower on my Macs but I used to attribute it to having
some older Mac hardware. Now with the new system it's not a mcuh
faster. I've tried enabling/disabling OpenCL and that doesn't
make much difference either way. Increasing some of the memory
available for thumbnail caching and restarting the program
doesn't seem to make much difference either way so I've put it
back to the standard 500MBl. Adjustments get pretty slow too. Any
tips on something to look for or a way to speed it up on OS X? As
far as I can tell the settings between the two systems are
identical and mostly default. I do usually set it to apply camera
specific base curves but that's really the only setting I've
messed with outside of metadata.
Thanks!
