El Capitan is slow???

Is anyone else having the issue of your Mac running wicked slow after the new El Capitan update? Word, Safari, Preview, and iTunes wouldn't open- they froze and I had to force quit them. Even typing this there is a major lag and the pinwheel appears. What's up with that? So far I hate how slow it's making my mac.

I just purchased the 2.7 GHz intel Core i5 Mac Book Pro with the El Crapitan update about (30 hours ago). Man I have to say, I am unimpressed. I have been a loyal Apple customer since 2007 and have or had just about every new product that they have come out with, but this computer is slow and seems unconfident in pursuing operations. I could have bought a Windows PC for less money to get this kind of mediocre speed on a computer. I am only using this computer for simple personal use only, Thank God. Apple, Please fix this Update and return to the high quality speed and reputation that is APPLE.
