I currently run Reunion 12 on a late 2012 27" iMac, 3.4GHz Intel Core i7 (which I understand is quad core), 32GB 1600 MHz DDR3. The iMac has a 1TB fusion drive, with a meagre 58GB available space. Very much time for an upgrade.
I'm close to ordering a 16" MacBook Pro with 2.4 GHz 8-core 9th generation Intel Core i9 processor with Turbo Boost up to 5.0GHz. I'll probably order the 32GB of 2666MHz DDR4 memory, and 4TB of SSD storage.
The processor speed on the Macbook Pro is slower, but double the number of cores. And of course i9 vs i7.
Am I likely to notice a significant improvement with Reunion with the new hardware specs? I have almost 75,000 individuals in my Reunion family file. I've noticed generating and searching through a list of Sources (3,125 of them) has slowed to a crawl these days.
On the iMac I run MacOS 10.13.6 High Sierra because a HDD disk fault prevents me from upgrading to anything later. Obviously the MacBook Pro will have the latest OS installed.
Interested in thoughts from anybody who knows more than I in terms of what resources Reunion capitalises on, or from anybody who's moved from and to similar specs.
