Mountain Lion to El Capitan Importing issues
Hi, I am New to this forum and not too familiar with diagnosing computers or much of the terminology so I will do my best to make sense.
I have a mid 2012 MBP 15" with 2.3 I7 4gigs of ram, 500gig HD, Nvidia GT650m discrete graphics card. I have been running Mountain Lion since I purchased it new in 2013. Generally its been running well and did so up to a year ago when I started having issues with safari and web sights freezing so I have been having to refresh a lot. Weary about the idea of upgrading to Mavericks and Yosemite I kinda just kept using Mt. Lion. until now when I finally upgraded (after backing up) to El Capitan. Generally everything is working well except Importing Video with Photos and I Movie. There seems to be a lag in the playback that wasn't apparent in Iphoto or Imovie under Mt. Lion. Also when I am using Photos the computer seems to be much hotter than when I used I photo. Also the activity monitor is showing high CPU percentages, like 200-300% just playing back the video. I have an external with my old Mt.Lion set up and when I play the same video in Iphoto it uses only 10-20%.
Is photos that much more of a CPU draw or is this pointing to some issue with the install or hardware compatibility? Anyone else having this issue?
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
