Is Mavericks making your machine run slow?

I'm using MacBook Pro Retina Display 15 inch. After upgrading to Mavericks, my mac is also running slow!! Any ideas how to solve this problem?

I'm using MacBook Pro 15 inch early 2012 8 gb ram and SSD . After upgrading to Mavericks, my mac is also running slow! too. I don't understand why, mail slow, switch between app...slow.. everything is slow, memory usage seems higher...

I'm going to make a clean install...if slow persit.. I back to Mountain Lion.

I upgrade from Mountain Lion 10.8.5

Any ideas?

same problem here with me :"(

mid 2012 macbook core i5 non retina

Scrolling is laggy throughout the entire OS. It's really bothering me

same problem with me ...mid 2012 non retina core i5 macbook acting poor performance..

I called apple, we did some modifications but it is not better.

A second call to apple and they proposed to come back with old os (SN).

They proposed to wait and to install next index of Mavericks.

Now I have to wait to let time to time machine to come back as yesterday.

Regards,

A restart sped things up for me.

Try uninstalling any third-party system modifications. You can use Etrecheck to list what you have installed. Any StartupItems, LaunchDaemons, or LaunchAgents are suspect with a new OS.

i restart twice. It's still the same. >.<

Hi guys. I'm facing the same constrains has most of you seem to be facing.

I have a Late 2012 iMac 27” (i7 3,4 GHz, 24GB Memory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX with 2GB, 1TB Fusion Drive) .

Last night I did a clean install of OSX Mavericks.

The installation was kind of slow, but I guess this is quite normal. After the installation and initial configuration and setting up my system, I started noticing some slowness on the system response. For instance, something that is pretty basic like previewing an JPG image by using the spacebar with a file select takes a few good seconds to preview it (even the color wheel shows up) and this is something that was almost, or to be honest, instant to have.

I also find the system take a few good seconds more to boot up since I've installed Mavericks.

I haven't installed any system enhancements at all, just some quite basic tools like iphoto, keynote, Lightroom 5.2.

Any thoughts ??

I'm guessing being an early adopter has it's pain points .....

Thanks for your comments, in advance.

Same thing for me, preview by space bar take few time.. photoshop cc run slowly.

For me imac mid 2011 i7 3,4 ghz no fusion drive.

Hi,

It's me again. I've successfully clean-installed the Mavericks. Everything went fine like when I use the Upgrade method. The system is working properly without a slowness or any problem. This is my result. Hope yours will run better after the clean-install.

PS. I used Time Machine and Migration Assistant to restore all my files and settings.

Cheers!

Excuse me but my english is not very good,

I understand that you still have Mavericks,at rhe beginning it ran slowly but after clean install mavericks is running prperly without slow issue ?

Or did you uninstall mavericks and comz back to ML ?

Have you tried restarting the Mac, or restarting in safe mode and then shutting down and starting up again?
