When I am composing an email there is a terrible lag time while typing. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
I am using Apple Mail on Mac OS Big Sur v 11.7
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)
iMac 27″, macOS 11.7
Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.
It is good that you are getting better performance.
The report shows a lot of extensions, daemons and agents, many of which probably were installed quite a long time ago.
Is this from before or after you cleaned up? I suppose before.
Also, you seem to have a great number of hard drives attached to the mac, but not mounted.
That may contribute to extra slowness. If they are not in use, try running your mac without all those drives, it may help.
After running the report and cleaning up some of the junk in the report, things seem to be working much better. I forgot about Etrecheck! Thanks!
Thanks Luis! Yes, the report was before I cleaned up. :)
