Most efficient computer system for X2D files

[Gesey]

I currently have an Apple Mac Studio M2 max with 32 GB Ram, 512 GB memory. Is it worth it to upgrade to an M4 Max with 64GB Ram, would I see an increase in speed in processing my files?
I also process 60 Mb Leica files and the computer is much faster. Any ideas will be appreciated.

I swelled Apple's profits just yesterday by ordering a new iPad Air. I made an error when ordering my last one, when I was quite unwell with chemotherapy 18 months ago and my brain was far from its best. I did not tick the box for extra memory and so unintentionally ended up with a 64GB iPad. Since getting the X2D-100C a couple of months ago, with its 140MB 3F images, I keep running out of space and have had to do some serious housekeeping every time there is an iOS update, just to have enough space to run the update. I have now bought a 256GB 11 inch iPad with an M3 chip and one of the new Sandisk iExpand Deluxe 256GB iPad extenders (this was about 1/4 of the price of an additional 256 GB on board from Apple. This iPad has an M3 chip, which I suspect will be fast enough for my purposes. I do my post processing on an M2 Macbook Air, using Phocus and Photoshop, which is OK but not really as fast as I would like and the screen is too small. I am considering buying a second hand 5K 27inch iMac Pro. For some odd reason, they seem to be cheaper than getting a used high quality UHD 5K 27" monitor from the likes of BenQ or Eizo.
