These are the specs:
(Old) Mac Book Pro 2012, 2.6GHz Intel i7, with 16 GB RAM – running Mac OSX 10.14.6 Mojave
(New) iMac 2020 – 3.8Ghz 8-Core Intel i7, 64GB of RAM – running MacOSX 10.15.7 Catalina
For example, I have a reasonably 'heavy' project that hits the CPU meter at 60-70% on my Mac Book Pro – but it still touched 40% CPU reading on the new iMac.
Likewise, when I load the 'Selector Kit Clean.adg' drum rack (which has a large amount of samples in 128 drum racks) on both computers at the same time, the new one is maybe a split second faster – it still takes 2–4 seconds to load this kit, and I get the spinning wheel and the progress bar in the bottom left of the Live interface as the samples load.

I am also still experiencing a noticeable lag with Push 2 when loading devices and instruments, which when compared to Maschine's instantaneous responsiveness, is disappointing. I had figured that the lag on Push 2 was due to my older computer's lack of performance, but this does not appear to be the case.
Is this lack of performance improvement normal, given the huge difference in spec between my two computers, and if so, how can I improve the performance of Ableton Live on my new computer? Ideally, I would like the large drum racks and projects to open near instantly.
Thanks in advance.
