Will an update have fixes for running VEP in background in Apple Silicon Macs?

Simon, I have VEP running in the background on my M2 Ultra Mac Studio and it is running perfectly!

It's not running perfectly for me. X-posting from VI-C:
The dropouts on the background are very noticeable when hosting VSL Synchron Player in VEPro on the background (only in Apple Silicon, I never recall experiencing these issues in my old iMac). I have not noticed as many dropouts in Kontakt or SINE instruments. BTW, you can check the Synchron Player's built-in performance meter and switch from foreground to background to see the impact. When VEPro is on the background, the "red" (system) takes most of the space, whereas on the foreground, it's the "blue" (user). This is very obvious in CPU intensive instruments, for example those using time stretching, such as the Main/Low/high percussion riffs in Synchron Percussion, as it reaches 100% and causes the dropouts. Increasing the buffer only helps so slightly and the number of threads has no impact at all. It's sooooo annoying that I am even considering using my M1 Max for Logic and keeping the M2 Ultra just for VEPro, so that it can stay on the foreground. I hate the idea of having to move back to two computers ... but if VSL does not release a fix I am not sure what else to do.
