EtreCheck version: 6.2.3 (6C010) Report generated: 2020-03-29 23:13:46 Download EtreCheck from https://etrecheck.com Runtime: 17:22 Performance: Poor Problem: Computer is too slow Description: MacBook has gotten progressively slower over the ~8 years Ive owned it. I was under the false impression that leaving the MacBook plugged into the mains at all times would be harmful for the battery (Ive since found out this is only true of old batteries that have not bee in use for many years now), and so have been through just over 1800 battery cycles. I dont know if this is related to the slow speed, but it has certainly caused a very short battery life. For example, apps such as Terminal and Preview take 10 seconds to open after clicking the icon. Major Issues: Anything that appears on this list needs immediate attention.
