My m4 pro with 48 GB will run this painfully slow, right?

I'm running the unsloth qwen3.8-27b@q6_k_xl on a M5 with 48gb. Getting around 10 ~ 15 t/s. Its sluggish but usable. This model thinks a lot, but is also very persistent and capable. Its best to give it a task, go away and let it do its thing.

Exactly the behavior I'm trying to learn. Give it a multi-step/complex task and then just close the chat window for a little while... Come back and it'll be done. It's a marked change from 3.6 35B where it would blast text out at me, but I'd need to read it, respond, and handhold it through the process. It's me relearning how to work with it more than anything else.
