Q: My macbook's performance is much worse since installing Mavericks
I have a 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2GHz, 4GB memory. I have like 80gb free space on my computer. I have repaired disk permissions and done some various things to cleanup the computer. I have seen no change in performance yet...actually I feel like it's maybe getting worse. Here are some examples of the poor performance...
- Opened Microsoft Word…it took 3 minutes for it to fully open
- Opened TextEdit…it took 30 seconds to open. After hitting new document, it took 15 seconds to open the TextEdit box
- Took 30 seconds to fully open Mail (open to the point where I could use it)
- Printed document from Microsoft Word…had to wait about 45 seconds before it let me click Print.
- JPG photo took 30 seconds to close in Preview (not closing out Preview, but just closing the picture)
- Computer won’t let me move a JPG from an email to a folder in Finder.
- The computer needs to think for a few seconds when searching for things (i.e. in Mail, it doesn't pull up known email addresses immediately after typing in the first few letters)
These are all things that I did not deal with before installing Mavericks. These issues are also not consistent. The thing with the JPG's taking 45 seconds to close just happened today for the first time. I updated to Mavericks probably about a month ago.
I did the Etresoft thing and below is the result. Please let me know if you think there is anything I can do to improve my computer.
