Render times in 20 are astronomical

I cannot render anything out in 20 at this point. Even a 30 second clip just keeps calculating the time up and up. Percentage stays stuck a 9%.

On an M1 Pro MacBook Pro.

I'm not seeing any difference in 20 with my render times on either of my two systems.

me neither, render time are (approx.) the same between 19 and 20b3

I've found v20 to be the fastest of any release (and I'm not shy about calling BM out hehe.) As mentioned, it would be very helpful to export and upload logs and your drp.
