From what I’ve been able to gather, the excessive paging may actually have to do with non-native apps running on the M1. Avoid those.

Most of my programs are JetBrains IDE's and browsers. Don't know if they're optimized for M1.

AFAIK most of JetBrains' IDEs are now native (other than Android Studio, which is still WIP). The mainstream browsers are also all native.

Remaining non-native apps include Dropbox, Spotify, LibreOffice and a few others. And basically all games with very few exceptions.

This website has a decently up-to-date list of what has been ported and what hasn't: https://isapplesiliconready.com/
