I'm really not sure as I've never had to troubleshoot a slow probook before. This thing has always ran blazingly fast. Specs, including my azurwave broadcom BCM943225HMB are in my sig.

Keep in mind, I recently upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. But I did it on chameleon/chimera. It worked fine until I reinstalled with the clover usb and changed my udid and such a few times to get imessage working. (of course I can't get that working, just like everyone else.)

Things that are problematic since the clover upgrade:


  • Changing volume with f7 / f8 is very sluggish and responds slower than my finger. (Was always fast as lightning before Clover)
  • Connecting a bluetooth logitech trackpad is slow and laggy when using it.
  • Sound is sometimes static like
  • Wifi takes FOREVER to refresh, a good 30-45 seconds and I usually end up opening the system preferences and specifying a network.
  • All browsers are now incredibly laggy. I used to keep chrome open with about 4 windows and 60-80 tabs. It would use about 4gb of virtual memory but still be speedy as anything EVER. Now I can barely have 10 tabs open in one window without it lagging.
  • I have a tiny little 60gb SSD. I used to run my system with only 3-4 gigs free. Now I'm at 10gb free and my system is still slower than molasses.

Things that I've changed recently:

  • Upgraded to 10.9.5 chimera/chameleon (don't remember which)
  • Re-upgraded with the clover made usb and installed clover.
  • Started time machine backups on my HFS partition on the bay drive. (Have since DISABLED them to troubelshoot)
  • Changed my smuuid and system definitions several times to try and fix the iMessage problem before realizing it was FUTILE. (Why is there not a disclaimer on that thread?)
  • Moved several applications off the 60gb ssd to the 160gb HFS partition on the bay drive (ableton, ilife, office, steam, and Xcode)
  • Created several symlinks that existed before (they were on a NTFS formatted bay drive though, but they worked fine with legit paragon ntfs for mac license.)
  • Symlinks include:

  • iLifeAssetManagement to get my photostream off the main drive (worked fine before)
  • iPhoto Librarries (Worked fine before)
  • iTunes main folder (worked fine before)
  • iTunes mobilesync backup folder (worked fine before)
  • ScreenFlow temp recording folder (This is new)

I think that's all the changes. As of now I have NO earthly idea where to start troubleshooting this slowdown.

Any nudge in the right direction is appreciated!

Download patchmatic: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-maciasl-patchmatic/downloads/RehabMan-patchmatic-2015-0107.zip
Extract the 'patchmatic' binary from the ZIP. Copy it to /usr/bin, such that you have the binary at /usr/bin/patchmatic.

In terminal,
Code:
rm -Rf ~/Downloads/RehabMan
mkdir ~/Downloads/RehabMan
cd ~/Downloads/RehabMan
patchmatic -extract

Post contents of Downloads/RehabMan directory (as ZIP).

Also, post ioreg: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html. Please, use the IORegistryExplorer v2.1 attached to the post! DO NOT reply with an ioreg from any other version of IORegistryExplorer.app.

It is clear you didn't follow the guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook-mavericks/112383-guide-install-mavericks-clover-bootloader.html

Why is your smbios set to MacBookPro6,2?

You should remove third party system software until you have your system stable:
net.telestream.driver.TelestreamAudio
com.jft.driver.PdaNetDrv
com.cyberic.SmoothMouse
at.obdev.nke.LittleSnitch
com.globaldelight.driver.BoomDevice
org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv
org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxUSB

I didn't look at ACPI files...

I did follow the guide to the letter. Reinstalling with the guide was the only way I could get clover to see my drive in the boot list.

I changed to 6.2 to use a 13 digit mlb as per the imessage guide. I forgot that I did that, does that affect the system in more ways then just labeling?

The guide does not use MacBookPro6,2. MacBookPro6,2 is wrong for your hardware.

It is not merely "labeling."
 
Removed everything, Rebooted, hit f4, repatched dstd with clover probook installer, followed guide for clover configurator, re-exported dsdt and ioreg.

results attached.

Sound is no longer laggy. Haven't had enough experience with the rest yet to be sure.

I also removed the m-audio midisport 4x4 legacy drivers that needed some launch agent to run, I forgot that I installed those too.

If you see any obvious problems let me know. I'm not sure why patchmatic is spitting out 2 of each dsdt and ssdt now?
