Have any of you guys felt a decent, day to day, moment to moment difference when going from a M1 Pro/Max to M3 Pro/Max when developing for Apple platforms?

I'm thinking about indexing, previews etc. especially and compile times are also interesting. I have viewed the Xcode benchmark project on GitHub, but I'm more interested in other improvements other than pure compile time. Of course it affects previews, but it would be interesting to hear if everything is faster and snappy, or simply compile time differences.

The only way I'd pay to upgrade a M1 to M3 is if you're either adding memory, adding storage, or changing from M1 Pro to M3 Max. Otherwise it's just a waste of money for the small difference.
