BikeCAD Feature Request

Do you have plans to release a version of BikeCAD that's written for the Mac with the Apple silicon? I noticed some VERY slow behavior, like when scrolling and zooming, changes propogate very slowly and this seems to be a common issue with applications written in Java and unfortunately I'm not savvy enough to figure it out on my own.

BikeCAD on M1 Mac

I compiled and packaged the Mac version of BikeCAD on a Mac M1. I find the resulting program is pretty slick. I wouldn't say I can distinguish much difference between it and the PC version I run on Windows 11. Could you send me a copy of one of the BCAD files you're finding to be slow?
