I am relying quite heavily on system caching and pread. And yeah, M5 is a way faster and I can guess Mac can cache something, even if process stays under 2gb.

It was 83ms read per token for M2 and 12ms on M5 pro. Total is 163ms/tok vs 30ms/tok for M5. So yeah, there is a faster read and faster gpu processing
