Kde becomes 'laggy'

For some time I've been having the following problem:
Regularly ~15 minutes after booting arch the system/kde becomes unresponsive as in 'laggy' and just slow (audio will skip, video framerate drops) to a degree where the system is unusable and has to be rebooted, after which the problem may or may not disappear.
It doesn't seem to correlate with usage as it happens when just listening to music or when having many applications running.
Looking at system monitor/top only shows a slight increase in total cpu usage although 1 core becomes 100%.
Does anyone have a recommendation about how to find the cause of this problem?

Yes, did that shows X using a lot of the core. In logs there is:
irq 19: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
at the time of the slowdown.
So have rebooted with irqpoll option and haven't seen the problem so far, will reboot couple of times to see if the problem has disappeared.

Mac partition becomes laggy after dual boot windows 7

Hi all,
Last week I dual boot my Windows 7 again to make larger memory space for Windows partition. However after the dual boot, everytime when I first log in my Mac partition, it hangs and I need to restart to get it back to normal, Even though is back to normal, I still notice it takes longer time to open my documents compared to last time. I have roughly 10Gb for my Mac storage, I wonder is it because of the low memory space that makes this happens. Please advice!

Lack of harddisk space can indeed be the cause for the problems you have.

After upgrading to 6.0.2 from 6.0.1, Firefox has become laggier in terms of response time.

For example, new tabs open/close after about a half-second pause. I notice when I do this, the CPU activity spikes to about 25% and dies down. Sometimes typing text will pause as well. Its behavior is as if it was bogged down with a memory leak.

ITunes Video Playback Choppy/Laggy?

I am running a 27" 2011 iMac, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM and AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1025 MB graphics card. I am running the newest editon of Mountain Lion.
This is the first time I have had this, however I am not impressed at all. Video playback becomes laggy/choppy, the sound goes all fuzzy and becomes out of sync. It first started with "Blue Planet", I got it about 3 weeks ago now and I simply cannot finish the series as the play back becomes horrible. I have "Ancient Aliens" and that never done anything like that on the same machine. Even the HD version played perfectly.
Now I have just rented "The Hunger Games" in HD and I'm getting the same **** thing. When I pause the video for a little it stops, then it comes back again. Like watching a video with bad internet connection on YouTube, only it doesn't freeze, it just lags out.
I don't really fancy sitting through a 2 hour film pausing it every 15 mins, if I wanted to do that I'd have just not paid for it.
When I looked at my iStat Menu's CPU and RAM is not being used to much so it's not that. It shouldn't be anything to do with my internet connection, that was the whole point of downloading it? Plus my internet is 60MB (so 6MB/s) and I downloaded the 4.5GB file in 30 mins or so. So even if my internet connection had anything to do with it, it should be fine.
Like I said I've not had problems with this before, but this is stupid. Can this be fixed? If not I need to try and get a refund as this is a joke.

Thanks for your reply.
Ugh. Sorry. It is frustrating and in today's technological marketplace should be one of the easier things for the Mac to handle.
Received another feedback from someone. Have to try when my daughter gets up, but right-clicking on iTunes and doing a Get Info will yield the 'Run in 32bit mode', Checking this box helped another person who was floggedw with this issue
The whole thing is odd. The Choppy playback was an issue oh her machine prior to upgrading to iTunes 11 and me adding another 4GB of RAM. Ran disk utility, did all the normal things to try and solve. She doesn't have an i-device, so WIFI sync was a moot point.
I do not have the issue on my MBPro 15" running the same compliment of software and iTunes. Same movie plays fine. On hers, the issue is there. So this has to be software... settings, conflict, something...
UPDATE
Just tried the 32bit mode on her machine and same choppy results. Back to square zero.

KDE 4.13 Baloo sucking system resources.

Its a feature not a bug I suppose, but not kind to any system. I followed the 'add your home' to the exclude list, but the thing still hammers away and there are multiple process going on from baloo/akonadi that I needed stopped. So I renamed the binaries - stopped them from running for now. Surely a method to completely disable this short of switching from KDE to Gnome or something else has to be available?
When trying to remove baloo, the result is this: http://pastebin.com/RvuKgYzp .
That is not something I'm willing to do as I installed this Arch Linux and use KDE as my primary desktop since Jan 2012. Over 2 years of excellent stuff IMHO, but forcing users to run software for the sake of the few who really don't mind their hard drives thrashing about, indexing all manner of files is utter nonsense. Maybe Openbox will be my fallback..
rant off...
Peace be with you all mostly.

this in baloofilerc seems to restore old dolphin behaviour
[Basic Settings]
Indexing-Enabled=false
What has worked for me on several machines is to run the current pacman update, and then do the following. Then logout and back in to kde. Then go to the kde system settings and into Desktop Search, and simply add the user home directory to the list not to search. Apply the changed setting, and then logout and back in (there will be a slight delay to the logout process at this point due to the initial baloo processes running but just wait out the half minute or so till it logs out). There will be a baloo file cleaner process running when you log back in, which on my machines seemed to run for a few minutes and then stop. At that point if you check the file:
$ cat .kde4/share/config/baloofilerc
you will see at the top that there are already the lines:
[Basic Settings]
Indexing-Enabled=false
[General]
several other lines after this.....
At that point baloo quietens down and there are no further issues with baloo but you need to have a little patience during the initial running of the processes mentioned above, so it is a short term issue only.
I have seen a gentoo thread which suggests that allowing baloo to index email does give a very efficient search even for tens of thousands of mails, but of course the initial indexing process does take a little time and CPU cycles - but once that is complete then it is suggested that it works extremely well. That would only be useful for local email - if you are connecting to remote imap then there is no point in indexing locally. However I believe that the baloo indexing is very efficient, though it is not clear to me how detailed the search for a particular local email would be, or what parts of the email would be searchable (eg only text in the subject as usual or text across the body?), or which mail clients are set up to use the baloo index data?

My iphon 4S and iPad 2 screen have become less responsive since I've updated to IOS8

Hi,
Since updating my os to IOS8 I have found that the touch screen on both my iPhone 4S and my iPad2 have become less responsive to gestures. They have also become laggy when performing commands.
They are two distinct issues though. I have noticed the decreased sensitivity most when logging in with my pin code. I hardly ever had to enter my pincode more than once because i missed a digit but now im doing it all the time. Also when using the YouTube app the time slider is so unresponsive... and the slider when watching a fullscreen vid within safari is the same.
I expected the laggyness after upgrading as they are older models but I don't understand why the sensitivity would reduce.
Anyone else?

After Effects chunky/laggy interface?

Hello everyone,
I'm working on after effect / pc since years now, and i've always encountered this "issue" : chunky interface.
Point A is :
The more expanded the interface is (i mean in terms of screens' surface) and the more elements it contains, the more chunky it becomes.
For exemple, I'm used to have my viewport and all the panels on screen 1, and one big panel with the timeline on screen 2. in this case, the interface is chunky. And it goes worst as I multiply the layers in the sequence. Which can be really really disturbing and production breaking for heavy composition.
Point B is :
I was accepting that as a... weakness of after effects, till I did some test on a Mac. And *boum* that doesn't behave that way. That was an imac, with a not powerfull graphic card (default imac gfx).
Point C is :
I have experienced that along the 3 office's computers i had, as on friend's / collegues windows computer
To make it clear : create a new blank project. Set the timeline panel on the second screen as a very low size/scale/screen's surface.
Scale it up, scale it down and see the "display refresh rate" of the resizing.
Now create a layer (anything) and dupplicate it like 150 times.
Rescale the timeline panel to min-max window size multiple times & you'll see what i mean.
To make it simple, in the first case you will have like 30/40 fps, in the second you will have like 5/10 fps. And that become annoying since the interface become laggy.
The problem here is not about processing but about the speed of redrawing the window/panel and it's elements.
SO can anybody tell me if using a solid quadro can overwhelm this windows 2d terrible management weakness?

Szalam thanks a lot, I'd really like to have your feedback. Everything depends from you now Could you please also specify which quadro are you using?
Todd_Kopriva I'm glad adobe had noticed that and had worked on. And I really hope that those improvements are significant, since this kind of behaviour (from the software) is becoming really critical...
especially for a product defined as a professional solution. And especially regarding the fact that it's only about drawing 2D.
Be sure that I will get the trial version as soon as it will be available and give feedback.
Mylenium I could... understand the approximative handling on multi-desktops for public/gaming card. Not for professional card, especially when the overprice is justified by the support and the reliability/optimisation of the drivers.
As said upper, everything depends inter alia on the Szalam answers.

Suspend Not Working Post 2013-09-17 Move Away From Init

Hello,
I would first like to say I have been happily using Arch for about a year now and I'm very thankful for the wonderful arch wiki that has answered more questions than I can count. However, I seem to be stuck on this one. Recently, after updating my system I am no longer able to suspend my system reliably. Initially all my Fn keys worked out of the box on my Lenovo laptop, as well suspend upon closing the lid. I would say it works about 10% of the time now. I believe this problem stems from something in my systemd configs although I do not know that to be the case. This became a problem after arch officially moved to systemd around 2013-09-17. Now most times I cannot suspend, hibernate, or power off my machine safely. Normally I am forced to use 'sudo poweroff -f' as it is the only command that works. My function keys for screen brightness etc have become laggy or unresponsive at times as well. As this is a fairly obtrusive issue, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Once again, my newbie status leaves me unsure of how to pursue this one.

Thankfully my suspend worked out of the box, as a result I didn't investigate as to how it was working so I don't really know. For the few things that didn't work (volume keys, lock screen) I used xbindkeys.
cfr wrote:Is your system completely up to date? Have you dealt with all pacnew and pacsave files?
Yes, I have updated my system several times since then to no avail. As to the pacnew and pacsave files, This is new for me, am I correct in saying these are saved config files that were replaced during a previous update that I need to somehow reincorporate? I searched for them but from what I can see none of them seem to be related to my issue.

Also, I would like to note that at the time of this post suspend is working perfectly fine, however the problem is not solved as its functionality phases in and out. I don't know if its sporadic behavior is helpful in this troubleshoot or not, just throwing it out there.
Update: its not working again, tried to shutdown via terminal and this was the error.

Problems with creating a 1080p video - Choppy

Hey guys,
I am new to this forum and video editing so please be patient and bare with me as I try and explain what the issue is. First and foremost I would like to say thank you for taking the time to read my question.
I have a gopro HD recorder which I used on my trip and recorded a bunch of movies. They were recorded in 1080P/30FPS.
I am able to play these on my MAC in any player, (I use VLC) and work fine - no lag what so ever.
I opening up Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5.5 and creating a new project as follows with following sequence settings (I've tried multiple ones)
AVCHD 1080P25 Anamorphic or AVCHD 1080P30 or AVCHD 1080P25
Once this is complete I add my video in with an MP3 as audio and a picture saved as JPEG to the first 20 seconds (Video is about 3 minutes long). So far everything is good. Also between the picture and the video I add a video transition.
When I export the video as H.264 1080P25 or H.264 1080P30 (PAL) I notice that after movie transitions from the JPEG to the actual video it becomes laggy and very choppy on all media players, including VLC, Quicktime.
This is were the problem is frustrating - If I remove the JPEG and video transition effect and just have the video with audio track and export with same settings above the video is absolutely fine. No lag what so ever.
So it seems that the JPEG is causing me issues. Has anyone experienced this and could point me in the right direction?
To be absolutely clear, the picture is about 500KB and size is 1280 * 960 JPEG.
The system I am using is
Macbook Pro
2.3Ghz I7 Quad
8gb ram
1gb dedicated video card
I don't think its my computer as I tested both video's (with and without the jpeg) on other machines and get the same results. The Video with the JPEG is choppy while the others play fine.
I would very much appreciate any assistance as I am trying to create a Video to send to all our supports for a rally we participated in.
Thanks so much again for taking the time to read my question.
Kind regards,
Milan

Ok, so now we know that what we were dealing with trully was a user error and I am sure that the part of it is you being new to PPro. The other part of it is general annoyance that one has to deal with, whenever complex output pipelines are involved. When you are using a professional application suh as PPro you are alowed a lot of flexibility. Unfortunately with this flexibility the possibility of error rockets skyhigh. This complexity is in no way helped by the fact that the output is handled by codecs from many different vendors all of which have different UIs and different ways they talk to the host app. QuickTime is terrible in this aspect as well. So you have to be very methodical.
Now that we know that there is really no bug with PPro concerning your issue, you may go ahead and chose any one of the codecs for output that are available and suitable. PPro even gives you presets. For example you can chose a Youtube preset as an option for H264 export. But you have to pay attention to the settings as it is very often so that even if you have correct settings in your Media Export window the framerate and the image dimensions might be different inside a codec settings that are accessible for some of them via the codec settings button, like in the picture below. You can see that even though settings are all matching inside the media export dialog they are not the same in the codec setting pop-up
At any rate look at the summary field and see that those settings match. Including both of them having the same field order (ie none as it is progressive footage in my example. Like below:
Anyway, as I said there are many things to go wrong. I feel that a lot of Operation Manual reading is in your future, meanwhile it will be better, perhaps, if you use iMovie which is pretty good for simple editing - the kind you seem to be doing - without to steep of a learning curve. I use it myself for some quick edits on the go.
Hope it helps. Good luck.

Dual Monitors Windows 7 Problems

Ok, this problem is getting really annoying and I think its a problem with windows 7 itself and not my computer.
Basically I have a dual monitor setup with the left hand monitor as my secondary and right hand monitor as my primary. Whenever I have an application with any graphics on it at all such as a progress bar on my left hand monitor moving windows around becomes laggy and juddery, yet this doesn't happen when the graphical app is on my primary monitor!
My system Specs:
ASUS Striker Extreme MOBO
OCZ 850W gameXtreme
Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz CPU
4GB (4x1GB) OCZ DDR2 1066MHz RAM
Nvidia 8800GTX
Sound blaster x-fi Xtreme Gamer (older PCI version)
3 x 80GB HD for system drive in RAID 0
1 x 500GB and 1 x 250GB drives for storage
Monitors are 1680 x 1050 res
Windows 7 Exp Index:
CPU: 5.9
Memory: 5.9
Graphics: 6.8
Gaming Graphics: 6.8
Primary HD: 5.9
What iv tried:
Updating to latest drivers
Upgraded system memory from 2GB to 4GB
Installing 64-bit version
removing sound card and re-installing windows from scratch
upgraded my PSU
Thanks for your help!

(Latest update) This is the best I can do to alleviate the problem, and does reduce its severity immensely, but I found myself still noticing some slight playback glitches in videos on my second monitor which probably also translate to anything else with movement. I have tested with a panning scene in one of my videos and there is a subtle micro-stutter on my second monitor which I can find no way to fix. This doesn't occur if outputting to a single display, one or the other, nor does it occur when playing the video on my primary monitor in a dual-monitor configuration. Note that when I say "primary monitor", I am not referring to the monitor Windows has marked as primary, but my actual monitor rather than TV. In a dual-monitor configuration, this micro-stutter will only occur when playing video on my right monitor (TV), regardless of settings or which ports the monitors are connected to on the GPU. The micro-stutter occurs with no relation to the activity on the other screen, as it can be completely still. I can confirm the micro-stutter does not occur at all with Desktop Window Manager (Aero) disabled. In short, this is a nightmare.
(Note that this micro-stutter is equally replicable in the 182.50 (WDDM1.1-less) driver, meaning there is no way to solve it other than disabling Aero or outputting to a single monitor.)
I think I've solved the problem.. for me, anyway. I've divided this into short answer and "long answer", which is closer to a stream of consciousness in some ways, as I found out about Force10Level9 as I was writing.
The short version:
I've found some registry keys which seem to have fixed the problem for me. I haven't experienced any side effects, but use the tweaks at your own risk!
I don't know exactly what they do. This comes from a lot of.. experimentation. I believe FrameRateMin tells the Desktop Window Manager that it's crucial to try to keep the framerate at or above the value specified (more details below), and Force10Level9 sounds like it forces DWM to use DirectX 9. I'm fairly certain about the former, not as certain about the latter, but together they do wonders.
You can view the fix below. You can then save it as a .reg file and import it into your registry. Restart the Desktop Window Manager service or reboot to see the changes.
Fix: http://pastebin.com/FFDbubw9
Undo: http://pastebin.com/zA8CJY06
(P.S. Just ran a FurMark test between fix applied and no fix. No difference in performance, with an inactive secondary monitor. I also noticed no difference in Physical Memory usage as reported by Task Manager. YMMV, let me know if you have any side effects.)
(P.P.S. The screen fade that happens when you log in/out is just as choppy as before (or if it wasn't choppy for you, that shouldn't have changed). Oh well, how often do we see that thing, anyway? :))
By the way, it appears 10Level9 is Windows 7's emulation platform for running DX10 on DX9 hardware. It's reported to be at least a 0.5x performance hit, so it's surprising that it actually makes Aero run better. If this article is anything to go by, Force10Level9 makes Aero run exactly the same as it does with older WDDM 1.0-only drivers like 182.50: http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=637&pgno=1
The long version:
Well... I was able to do one more thing.
There is an undocumented registry key which allows you to fine-tune the Desktop Window Manager's scheduling. Unfortunately, all of its values seem to be defunct in the final version of Windows 7 we all use today... except one: FrameRateMin.
From what I gather, the Desktop Window Manager (Aero) carefully monitors the framerate it is able to achieve, and when it can't measure up to its own expectations, it will perform a "step down", or framerate reduction, and maintain this lower framerate for a given period of time (at one time specifiable with a registry value) before trying again at maximum speed.
I presume it does all this to keep things looking "smooth".
The problem is, in most cases, it doesn't help, and actually prolongs the stuttering duration. By "in most cases", I mean in every case it's happened in my personal usage of my Windows 7 computers.
So what helped me was setting this FrameRateMin value to 60. That way, the Desktop Window Manager considers anything under 60fps to be unacceptable and will not remain at a lower framerate for purposes of perceived smoothness. Thus, the stuttering will take up as little time as possible, making it nearly unnoticeable most of the time.
Keep in mind DWM shouldn't be having performance problems to begin with, but apparently in some cases, like with my particular hardware (desktop and laptop) and the latest NVIDIA drivers, it does.
Down to brass tacks. The registry key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Schedule. The value is FrameRateMin, a DWORD representing the minimum framerate DWM will consider as acceptable. I set it to 60, but you can set it to whatever you want.
To repeat, this WILL NOT prevent Aero from ever getting below the framerate you specify; it simply prevents Aero from retaining a lower framerate after a stutter in order to give the illusion of smoothness (an illusion which fails).
I imagine the main reason it fails so spectacularly in my usage is because I watch a lot of videos which play back at 24fps. Such a framerate plays back terribly with a 30Hz refresh rate, which is what Aero would reduce itself to for extended lengths of time. Now, performance hiccups are minimal, but sadly still existent.
So this isn't a solution, but it does help. I am still uncertain of where the problem lies, considering GPU-Z shows graphics card loads to be as low as always when it's happening.
Oh, and I found one more registry value. This one is far more important. :) It solves the problem for me entirely, from what I can tell.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics
add the DWORD value Force10Level9 with a value of 1.
I haven't noticed any side effects, just smooth performance.
Apply these tweaks at your own risk!

N97 - *Most Expensive Doorstop In My House*

All of a sudden 2 days ago whilst I was using the phone it started to become laggy (well, well...what a supriseLOL)..So naturally I opted to restart it...(BAD IDEA!)...It was then bricked... It would not start up..It was stuck on theNokia flash screen. A hard reset worked (after many attempts). The phone booted up (Sim card / Memory cardremoved) and I decided to reset phone to factory settigs to be on the safe side. After I thought my proble mwasresolved I put my SimCard in it..and Suprise Suprise...the phone was again bricked...
This has happend to me before and I did hard resets..Reinstalled firmware...Formatted Memory..None of this helped.
So I decided to take my phone today to a Nokia care point... He said the engineer would reinstall the firmware..I saidI'd tried many times but he said that they use a "STRONGER FIRMWARE" as opposed to ones that the public obtainusing a data cable.
Is this true?
I also said if he can replace the lens. He said he does not know if the warranty covers the lens and that Nokia areaware of the issue. (He said he will get back to me).
I also said the GPS sucks (he laughed and nodded in agreement) and said a fix was soon to be released and Nokiais aware...
Other points which the engineer and I agreed upon was:-
-**bleep** speakers (Compared to N95)
-**bleep** & buggy software
-**bleep** access points configs
-**bleep** photo browser
-**bleep** gps
-**bleep** UI
-**bleep** lagg
-**bleep** battery life
-**bleep** lens scratching issue
-**bleep** transition effects
-**bleep** speed of auto rotate
-**bleep** browser (it likes to crash often)
I'll update the post with other **bleep** stuff soon.
Look forward to reading your reply's
Thanks.

Hey guys. Thanks for all the replies. I have read all / if not most of the N97 threads on this forum as I browse this forum on a daily basis. Each one covers certain problems and it is frustrating to see so many Nokia users (loyal Nokia users for many years and newcomers) having problems that over the years (with Nokia developing so many phones) you would have thought would have been ironed out to some extent.
If I was launching a new phone I would first of all LISTEN to what customers want: -
1. Speed. 2. Technological innovation (May be something new / revolutionary) 3. Stability
The above can be developed using technology already available (I.e. Hardware & OS's that competitors are using).
Nokia have not conducted there market research very well / at all. Did they ever pick up an Apple Iphone to see have 'fast' or 'stable' it is? If it is 'fast' & 'stable' is it down to the hardware (Processor / RAM etc) or the OS (Mac OS) ?
Thus why not include a faster processor or one that is on par with rivals which give some speed and power to the user. Simple isn't it? Ok we all know that battery life comes into play but you can't sacrifice so much processing speed / lack of RAM just for an hour or two of battery power. Power users know that a handset of this calibre is a battery muncher and most people would charge it daily anyway.
Ok enough of my rant. Nokia cannot undo there shabby workmanship on this device but please for the companies sake take onboard user feedback for your next device! kthnxbye
metalfan:- I really hope that the method they use does make a difference and improves my user experience. Fingers crossed. Otherwise I will seriously have to consider breaking the phone and getting a replacement (N97 or other) via insurance.
alexeiw123: - you are right. Communication is key and a vital part when it comes to a new product. Departments need to learn to work together. Hardware dept should say "To make the OS snappy / fast / responsive and generally more stable why can't we add a nice, fast processor and more RAM into the equation?
The software dept should say "To take advantage of the nice new fast hardware that the hardware dept has graced us with how can we make the OS / software take 110% advantage of the neat hardware" etc. Surely a company of Nokia's strength can manage this!
fishfingers: - I feel your anger / frustration. I have spent hours and hours reinstalling apps / reinstalling firmware and reformatting mass memory. What a waste of time. BETA Testing is key! Why do game dev's beta test? To iron out bugs and save them hassle in the long run! The N97 seems to have been developed in the space of a week (if that) and released with no thought gone into the product. As you have mentioned so many people on this forum are knowledgeable (take radical24...at over 4000 posts he has helped many and should be considered to become a tester).
If Nokia listened to people and not just there workers, customers would not have to keep phoning Customer care / Visiting Nokia care points and thus in the long run it will save Nokia money! Simple.
Just for the record:-
+The above are my views and not that of any other person / organisation.
+I know that Nokia employees sometimes browse this forum but none of the above is directed at them / to them but the members of this community forum.

Iphone 4s ios5.1 slow and sloppy, automatically resprings.

iPhone 4S, after updating to iOS5.1, it has become sloppy. Screen lags always occur and and all apps have become laggy compared to previous iOS version.The iPhone also resprings itself suddenly (about once aday) where it goes black screen with a load circle in the middle for like 5 seconds then goes to the lock screen
It is rather annoying as day to day use becomes sloppy and not as fast as before.
Anyone have solutions or have the same problem as I do?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
Is the device jailbroken?

Haswell MBPR buggy volume control

It's two days old haswell mbpr.
Whenever i change the volume with keyboard, the system become laggy and buggy and momentarily freezes.
why is that? should i just go exchange???
i have nothing installed but office 2011.

number9,Welcome to Apple Discussions, As this appears to be a glitch with one method a cahning the volume rather than the actuall process. I suggest you reset the PRAM. This article explains that the speaker settings are stored in this memory and also the method for doing it.

Anyone else feeling considerable lag/slowdowns after the latest update?

Everything from opening Safari to launchpad and Word, my Mac has become laggy after the latest security update just a couple of days ago. Even the downloads window takes longer time to open. Theres even mouse lag and lag even when I type at some instances. I can tell and feel when my Mac slows down.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
