slow 2012 model MacBook pro

Hi jcbach,

Thank you for posting. It looks like you have a performance issue with a MacBook Pro, and from the reporting you provided, it may relate to some third-party software. Is that correct?

Have you tested your Mac in safe mode yet? Based on what you posted, that would be a good way to verify if third-party software is contributing to the issue: How to use safe mode on your Mac. If you find your Mac performs better in safe mode, check out the "If the issue doesn't continue in safe mode" section of that link.

Take care.
