M1 chip incompatibility issues

Question about an existing feature

What are you trying to achieve?

Image composition using Macbook M1. Reopening another ticket as updating to the latest sharp version didn't resolve the issue #3091 and #2286 was through a different use case.

Windows Test Case
OS:Windows 10
Processor:AMD Ryzen 7 4000
Node Version:14.16.1
Total Runtime:9 Minutes

Macbook M1 Air
OS:Monterey
Processor:Apple M1
Node Version:15.6.0
Total Runtime:1 Hour, 15 Minutes

When you searched for similar issues, what did you find that might be related?

Please provide a minimal, standalone code sample, without other dependencies, that demonstrates this question

const sharp = require('sharp');

const compositeImage = async (images, id) => {
  let inputArray = [];
  for (let i = 1; i < images.length; i++) {
    inputArray.push({ input: `${images[i]}` });
  }
  await sharp(`${images[0]}`).composite(inputArray).toFile(`output/${id}.png`);
};

(async () => {
  let imageArray = ['1.png', '2.png', '3.png', '4.png'];
  console.log('start:' + new Date().toLocaleTimeString());
  var i = 0;
  while (i < 1000) {
    await compositeImage(imageArray, i);
    i++;
  }
  console.log('end:' + new Date().toLocaleTimeString());
})();```

Node.js 15.6.0 reached EOL in June last year and is unsupported. As far as I know, it was made available as x64 only so will use Rosetta emulation on an M1.

As I said in #3091, please see the not yet released #2286

Works perfectly if using Node 17.6.0(Native to m1)

Thanks!
