About 4 fps in a 12-core MacPro, configured with the default 24 threads.
We have seen much better speeds in this same configuration.
Tested with MKV and Prores sources, with some image modifications, and
no modifications at all. Also tried on a network, with the MacPro as
an encoding server and the laptop with the project not doing any JP2K
encoding. Slightly lower speed as expected. The server log at the
MacPro was giving about 5 seconds per frame, tha seems pretty high to
me.
I recently installed the latest test version 2.11.16, and trying to
troubleshoot I tried with the also installed stable version from late
December, with same speed result.
Are OSX packages statically compiled? or installing the newer test
version may have "damaged" some library shared with the older version?
Anyone else have or had a similar problem?
Thanks!

Can you try one of the 'official' benchmarks, Sintel or Bunny?

I recently did some speed tests on a new MacBook, and they were consistent with my earlier
benchmarks (of which I did quite a few). And yes, at 2k, that machines should do much
better.

BTW - Carl, that link to the sintel source is broken, maybe you can update the page with a
working one?

It's all in the .app so there shouldn't be anything like that happening.
Are you saying 2.10.x used to work fine on the same machine and now
doesn't?
Have you got any power management or anything turned on?
Cheers,

I lost my remote access to the machine but I will try Sintel as soon as is back.
2.10.5 was working fine earlier this year. And 2.11.16 is encoding
GREAT on linux right now, other bits like the preview sometimes blow
up :P
No power management that I know.
Activity monitor shows a bit less than 2400% for 24 threads, as expected.
I recently did a minor OSX update, jus to add to the list of suspects.
Looks like a combination of factors, let's see...

We are still figuring it out.
We uninstalled everything dcpomatic related, including several
preferences files. Installed 2.10.5 and tested with a short prores
file, again around 4 fps.
Big Buck Bunny trailer is giving around 7 fps, as showed in the
attached log. The test was run in the internal SSD, nothing else
running, freshly rebooted.
Any help is welcomed! Thnaks!!

I am running the benchmarks on 2.10.5 on the following Mac Pros, and will
send my logs when complete. But at the moment, on the Mid 2010 machine, I
am seeing roughly 15fps on 20 threads
One is an Early 2009 2 x 2.93 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16GB of RAM
running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6
The other is a Mid 2010 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon with 32GB of RAM
running macOS Sierra 10.12.6
