Hello,

Glad you hear you like Cesium! Sorry to hear about your performance problems. We have Mac users on our development team and haven’t seen performance issues like that. It might be specific to your OS and graphics card. What version of MacOS is your computer running and what graphics card do you have? Also, do you have a sample application that you’re seeing the problem with, or is it just any Cesium app?

Make sure your graphics driver is up to date. Also check if there are updates for Safari and Chrome.

Best,

Hannah

Poor performance on macbooks with integrated GPU and Safari. Chrome doing everything much better.
