Very sluggish performance since installing Mavericks

As with many other people, my MacBook is running really sluggishly, ever since I installed Mavericks. It is running much slower than it was with OSX Lion that I had before. This is a 2010 Macbook with 4 GB RAM. I talked to someone this morning with an even older MacBook that is just flying along with Mavericks. Something must be wrong with mine.

An example of sluggishness is that after clicking on a menu item, it may take several seconds for the drop-down menu to appear.

Another problem I'm having, which I believe is a known problem that is presumably being addressed, is that my Apple Bluetooth mouse is unable to perform scrolling by dragging my finger along it, in some apps, some of the time. Sometimes apps recover the ability to do scrolling.

I tried disabling App Nap on all apps I keep running most of the time and it made no difference. I've looked at Activity Monitor but there doesn't seem to be any unusual load on the system. I looked at Console and there are a lot of messages of many kinds, but at the moment no new activity. However, at times there was rapid generation of an "Invalid display" message, with jillions of them present in the console list. I suspect these may relate to the fact that I use a second monitor off and on during the day. Right now the second monitor is plugged in, and no such messages are occurring, but the log shows a lot of them earlier. They look like this:

11/14/13 11:58:57.116 AM BBEdit[202]: CGSCopyDisplayUUID: Invalid display 0x2b3c49d5

These are all from BBEdit, but earlier there were lots from Excel and Word too.

I ran etrecheck (downloaded from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck) and got the following. There are a lot of failed items in there, and for some of them I think I need to uninstall or disable certain things, but for others I'm not really sure what I'm looking at.

After OS 10.9 running fast 'n smooth for nearly a month I too experienced extreme sluggish performance. Startup was especially long, nearly 5 minutes. Once at the desktop, it took several more minutes for the dock to appear. Menu would respond 30 seconds later. I restarted a couple times and the same old. I couldb't even get to Recoverly mode. I used Time Machine to take my system back a couple days but to no avail.

So I restarted with a external drive clone of my old system and repaired everthing that could be repaired with Disk Utility (permissions), zapped PRAM and, hoy ****, everything went back to normal when I restarted OS 10.9. In fairness, I've had this happen under OS 10.5 and 10.6, so I knew the drill. 2013 2.6GHz i7 Mini with Fusion drive.

Every time performance really slows a lot, if I look at the console, there will be thousands of messages appearing from one or more apps, dozens or more per second. Almost always they are "Invalid display" messages, but not always. If I note the apps that are generating them and shut down and restart these apps, the system always starts running much better.

A week later and my Macbook is back to EXTREMELY sluggish performance. I don't understand why Activity Monitor never shows a heavy CPU load in these cases.

Is memory the problem? It shouldn't be. I'm maxed out at 4 gigs, and I have 14 apps open. That's a big load on memory, but OSX Lion coped much better than what I'm experiencing with Mavericks. Mavericks is supposed to do better with memory demands, with its memory compression and app nap. Of those 14 apps, I'm switching between Mail, Word, Console, Activity Monitor, Safari, and Finder. All other apps should be napping, I haven't visited them in a long time (overnight). But performance is currently abysmal. Console shows nothing much happening. It earlier showed the usual millions of Word invalid display messages, so I shut down and restarted Word and that stopped them. Still slow.

Of course, I may have turned app nap off on some of my apps, a recommendation that crops up on the slow-Mavericks forums. Probably should undo that, since it didn't help.

Memory pressure showed a constant level of about 50% for the first few weeks after installing Mavericks, but recently it has risen to about 75% (of the full plot window height). It doesn't vary much.

I just closed my cover for a few minutes, then reopened and relogged in. It took so long, it is SO sluggish. The console log shows a lot of messages that I don't understand. Certainly some of them seem to be indicating serious problems. Here is the tail end of the log from the time I closed the case:

Here are a couple of steps that may help.

Step 1

Boot in safe mode. This will cause certain caches maintained by the system to be rebuilt.

Safe mode is much slower to boot than normal. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.

When the login screen appears, shut down. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.

Step 2

Reset the System Management Controller.

After completing these steps, start up as usual and see whether there's an improvement.

I also get the "Invalid display" messages. I use two external displays while at work (one plugged into each of the two mini displayports in my Retina Macbook Pro, and after unplugging them I find that I get "Invalid display" messages coming in pairs ("Invalid display 0x3c0c07c2" and "Invalid display 0x3c0c07c1"). I assume there is one for each of the displays.

It appears that _every_ app that was running when the external displays were connected trigger these messages. They can reliably be triggered by clicking on one such app to give it focus when it did not have focus before, or by copying/pasting from the clipboard (in which case two pairs are trigered each time).

For example, here is some output from /var/log/system.log annotated by what I did at the time:

Also, I'm not sure what triggers it, but some applications will freak out and report the "Invalid display" message a bunch of times at once. For example, earlier this afternoon I see entries from Dock in which it printed 8 pairs of "Invalid display" messages in the same second (there are a few instances of this pattern later in the afternoon):
