For the benefit of people who prefer Apple equipment, I thought I’d share some benchmarks for my new iMac. This is the 27 inch model upgraded with i9 processors and with 32 GB of memory.
Cheaper alternatives within the Apple world include the Mac Mini (the latest incarnation is remarkably powerful) and the 2013 Mac Pro, which I see selling on eBay for quite a reasonable price.

If anyone with apple hardware has access to VMware, it might be
interesting to compare the speed of the native implementation with that
running under a linux virtual machine.
A few years ago I did some (unrelated) cpu-heavy benchmarking, and found
that my test ran significantly faster in a debian vm under vmware fusion
3 than the native macos version. I was pretty shocked by this, as I'd
assumed the overhead of the VM software would slow things down, but
somehow the opposite happened.
