Huh! Your Geekbench scores are literally like twice what I have and the only difference between our machines is the SSD. I guess I'll try you EFI. I used Geekbench 5 vs 4.4 but I can't imagine that's the issue. Seems like something is restricting my performance. Backing up my baby now and we'll give it a shot.
