I suppose because of your MacBook Pro is running several tasks, such as mdworkers which creates file index for spotlight high priority, your MacBook Pro slow.

It's going to normal when several tasks settle down.

i checked the memory usage as well, it actually consumes almost 4gb ram. It gets normal for some time and as the memory shoots again gets slow.

Leave it to do its thing. There are a lot of processes going on in the background after a new OS install. I'm guessing that you have quite a lot of data for it to sort through. Photos in particular take a long time. I usually leave mine overnight when doing a major upgrade.
