Hi there.
Sorry if I sounded abrupt in my previous meMail on this thread.
Your eMail prompted me to do some actual testing myself on my Mac machines and
here’s what I came up with.
VoiceOver takes around 3 seconds to open on my Mac Mini Server machine.
The configuration of this machine is completely hard driven, no SSD or fusion
drive so yeah, its bloody slow at times and can be a pain to use.
Thankfully I mainly use this machine remotely as my FTP server, I use the
excellent Rumpus FTP software which is extremely accessible.
Moving right along, I tested opening VoiceOver on a Mac machine here that
contains a Fusion drive, took around 1 and a half seconds and on the iMac with
SSD took half a second so the Mac Mini M1 is far faster than the iMac as one
would expect <smile>.
Again I wasn’t casting any doubt upon what you had stated regarding the time
VoiceOver takes to open, I just found at first glace the figure you presented
to be a little surprising and – as you can see – my own testing confirms what
you wrote.
Cheers

Yeah, in my case it takes about 3 seconds from opening voiceover utility to the
thing showing up. My mac is 6 now 7 years old though, and still have way
kicking.

Hi.
One of the first questions I’m asked about the new Mac mini M1 is about speed
so I found an interesting bit of trivia through my work with the machine over
the past 72 hours which may interest folks.
So how fast is the M1? Well let’s compare it to an Intel Mac in this way and
you might get some idea of the increase in performance, its by no means
accurate but it does give you an idea.
Now suppose you open the VoiceOver Utility on an Intel Mac you hear VoiceOver
announce, Opening VoiceOver Utility and then the utility opens, so far so good.
Open the VoiceOver Utility on a M1 machine and the announcement can barely be
spoken before the General VoiceOver screen is announced, damn fast.
