Anyone facing lag on OS X Mavericks ?

I am using Macbook Pro 13" Core i7 (2012 model) and had just updated to OS X Mavericks. Its a great new OS X and i love the new features, however, i have problem of being lag throughout the system :O Especially when scrolling on launchpad. Anyone faces the same problem ? Apple please fix this issue, Mountain Lion was great as it did not lag on my Mac.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

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.
