for those wondering why Encore 6’s output is so slow, I’d just like to post this paragraph:
Faster GUI drawing on macOS
Without telling anyone, Apple have subtly changed the way their drawing APIs work for graphical applications over the last 5-10 years. The result has been that a naive graphical app would end up redrawing its entire window even if only a few pixels needed updating. We’re far from the only application to be affected by this. In Ardour 9.0 the GUI drawing speed will be significantly faster, at least on very dense pages like the mixer.found here:

I’ll take a guess that, since Encore 6 has yet to make it to beta, no one is wondering why the output is so slow.
Encore 5.0.7 over macOS 10.14.6 Mojave is quick enough. Mojave requires a metal graphics card on a 32 bit Mac (2012 to 2018) to run. Mojave running over emulators on pre-2012 Macs is painfully slow.
