Q: 2012 Mini Very Sluggish after Yosemite Upgrade

2012 Mini, core i7, 8gb RAM, 1tb HD.

Functioned flawlessly under Mavericks.

Upgrade to yosemite went smoothly but after completed the computer bogs way down.

Safari and Chrome take minutes to open. Text input lags severely.

Spotlight is done indexing.

Restored Mavericks via time machine pending a solution. Any other ideas?

Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2), 2.3 GHz Core i7, 8GB RAM

Thank you.
The computer runs fine under Mavericks, leading me to conclude this is a Yosemite issue, not a general/software/slowdown issue.

yosemite UI is very slow - animations, windows rendering etc.
finder can hardly display folder contents. switching tabs, opening photo preview - is a pain now

An update:
I made another attempt at installing yosemite. I wiped the drive and did a fresh install, then used migration assistant.
The end result was the same. The system ran fine at first, then bogged.
A reboot made it better, then after sleeping the system bogged again.

I am back to Mavericks pending some resolution.
