macOS High Sierra 10.13 slow graphics after battery sleep

2017 MacBook Pro 3.1Ghz

Having upgraded to macOS High Sierra 10.13, the graphics have slowed down significantly after sleep.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Close lid (default power settings)

2. Unplug from mains power

3. Wait 1 hour

4. Open lid and login

5. Try a graphics intensive app or game and notice a slow down?

Is this a known issue?

- Have a tried a clean install of 10.13.

- Have tried reverting to 10.12 (problem does not exist on 10.12.6)

The only option is to reboot.

To update you further, I have reverted to macOS Sierra 10.12.6.

Although High Sierra promises great foundations for the future, I don't feel it's ready yet. Graphics and wake from sleep are quite fundamental issues and professionals require stability.

Looking forward to when these issues are resolved.. For now 10.12.6 is great.

Thanks,
