Q: Anyone facing lag on OS X Mavericks ?

Open Activity Monitor and see if Spotlight is still indexing your MBP.  When it finishes, the performance should improve.

I also have the MacBook Pro i7 2012 and i just installed OS X Mavericks and I'm having lag everywere, swiping, scrolling websites....does anyone know how to fix this?

I have a late 2008 13 inch AL MacBook, and I frequently notice lag everywhere, and when typing or moving around with my trackpad.  I have 4GB of RAM FYI.  I know it's nothing great, but it ran lag-free with every previous OS.  I too would like to know what the deal is with lag and Mavericks...

Have the same issue wirh Lag when scrolling no matter wherejust after Mavericks installation, running in a MBP mid 2012 i5 13" HD4000, i hope apple solve this sson, is very annoying

There is super lag and my external hard drive does not work with mavericks anymore. All my data is gone!

Lagging system-wide using Mavericks on a recent Retina MacBook Pro with maxed out RAM. The display resolution is at Default for Retina. Spotlight is not indexing.

I can no longer Finder preview (select and hit spacebar) an MP4 that was compressed with Streaming Hints enabled. I can no longer Finder preview a WMV movie even though I have Flip4Mac installed.

Final Cut Pro X is lagging. Especially when you go back to it from another app.

Someone I know said that Nuke on his recent Retina MacBook Pro was lagging badly and even produced a faulty file.

Same symptoms on my work 2009 Mac Pro with lots of RAM. Fortunately, I installed Mavericks on a new drive on the Mac Pro making the machine dual-boot and I'm abandoning Mavericks on that machine for now and booting back into my Mountain Lion boot drive. But, I may be stuck on my laptop. I need to find a way to go back to Mountain Lion on that machine until there's a fix.

Hello everyone, by running Autocad 13 fixed my lag issues, now runs fast and smooth, no graphic laga or choppiness, i hope tjis works for you all

Yep, facing lag on a brand new 13" RMBP with 8GB ram and 256SSD.

Very annoying, it's subtle but noticable all around the OS really.

Particular examples :

Loading launchpad

Opening Other within Launchpad

Opening Terminal

Clicking between tabs in About this Mac more info

How would running a graphics program fix system-wide lag?  I don't understand.

Me neither, but it does, probably when running autodesk apps loads or re-configures graphics settings to match up, thats what my common sense tells me

I'm running a 2011 27" iMac i7 - 8GB Ram and have constant lag issues as well. Everything was fine on Mountain Lion.

Any solutions other than autocad?
