Hey Friends - I have had a stable build running Sierra for the last few months that I upgraded to High Sierra last week. I have everything working again (it was pretty straight forward), but am seeing some performance issues.
The main places I see it is in Safari moving between tabs. Closing a tab or moving between them now has a lag. If I mouse over the dock the magnification works, but it isn't smooth like it used to be. I have also found that if I am working with quite a few apps open, I incur a total lockup (no beach ball) for 2-10 seconds, and then everything starts moving again. It seems much worse when anything is running in the background that is consuming more than 10% of the CPU. I used to leave my security camera software (SecuritySpy) running 24x7, but now if it's running everything slows down.
Before I re-do the system as a fresh install, anyone have any advice? I've read a bazillion High Sierra posts here but haven't found anyone with the same sort of issues.
