If you're on apple silicon and the VM is x86, I agree the performance is abysmal. I'm pretty sure this is just a QEMU issue and not really the fault of UTM. If your VM is aarch64, the VM performance is amazingly great and I can't recommend UTM enough.

I also experienced performance problems with Arch Linux ARM through UTM. Parallels seems to perform much better for me.

One issue might be that only OpenGL 2.1 is supported: https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/issues/4285
