So - after downgrading to an older version of TensorFlow-Metal and TensorFlow-MacOs it works back in the desired speed (although a few annoying warning messages)
conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps==2.9.0
python -m pip install tensorflow-macos==2.9.0
python -m pip install tensorflow-metal==0.5.0
That did the trick
But the annoying warning messages are as follows - if anyone has an idea how to fix I am running on Mac OS Sonoma
