Matplotlib is super slow on Mac
By far the most time is spent in start_event_loop _macosx.FigureCanvas.
It's probably an issue with the MacOSX backend, see https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/5675. A workaround is to force the TkAgg backend on Mac.
Try out solution here https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/5675#issuecomment-164617874 so we can use the MacOSX backend again.
