The aarch64 runners are available now: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-10-30-accelerate-your-ci-cd-with-arm-based-hosted-runners-in-github-actions/

They should run tests faster. Should we switch the CI.yml to use the new arm macs? or should it do both?

Although we noticed that it seems like GitHub uses an arm64 image for all the mac jobs, even if you specify arch: x64.......

Does anyone understand that? Is the arch field ignored?

This was fixed, I believe. Anyways, this is now doing the right thing.
