4k fulldome frame saving speeds - OpenSpace 0.22 ARM on VMWare

Running Win11ARM on VMWare, 12 GB RAM, 5 cores on a Mac Mini M4. 

Running OpenSpace on local drive, was saving 4k frames of ts_002 of "The Search" in around 800 to 1500 ms. 

Running on Z drive, was saving 4k frames of ts_002 in around 5000 to 6000 ms - probably because it is a network drive.

Crashed after 1695 frames. Maybe because screensaver came on? Or maybe not - it would have run for more than two hours before crashing. Maybe out of memory etc.

Edit - So, now I have moved the VMWare VMs to an external SSD formatted with Mac filesystem - Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) - using Disk Utility on Mac - so that OpenSpace can run and save to local filesystem - possibly faster than the Linux machine with 8 GB RAM and NVidia 1050 graphics card.
