I deleted my Julia 1.11.4 installation completely and installed from what was labeled the 1.11.6 DMG downloaded for Apple Silicon.

I did not touch my ~/.julia and other supporting directories.

Everything works fine, but did I get 1.11.6 or is there something funky with the dmg: perhaps the latest version hasn’t been posted yet?

No biggee. My crude eyeball test suggests that 1.11.5 improves some performance over 1.11.4.

By the way, should I change my startup to request 4 threads? Would I see any performance uptick?
