Cool stuff. Sucks that the prefetching process cannot be disabled on cryptographic operations with the M1 and M2 Macs.

I purchased an M1 and I don’t feel any appreciable slowdowns or need to upgrade to a newer computer. This kind of vulnerability skews that decision, and I’m not especially happy about it.
