UPDATE FROM MABULA
I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred  after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Â Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
I have a 60 panel mosaic of ASI6200 full frame images I'm putting together, just 1 sub per panel. It's taking literally days to process (running 24 hours a day) on a new MacBook Pro Max 64gb, 2TB machine. I've allocated 60 gb Ram to APP along with 9 of the 10 cores.
1. Is there any way to speed this up?
2. What if I processed each row separately, one at a time and then when completed, stitch two rows together at a time, then incremently process those finished combined rows with the next row, until done? Might that be faster?
3. Would this take a similar amount of time with a Ryzen 5950X machine with 64gb and ample hard drive?Â
Thanks in advance.Â

@rixon Most of the time is taken by the registration of the panels. Less panels to integrate means less processing time, independent of the hardware. A faster machine may help but probably not much. Your suggestion to stitch per row and then combine them may work but note that this may introduce issues with distortion of the panels. In any case, please give it a try. I am not aware of many such large mosaics ever done with APP.
@rixon Have you seen this thread?
Not as many panels as yours but there may be some tips in there that may help you.
