Sorry, I don't intend to hijack your thread, but to help deduce the problem. But this looks exactly like the issue I'm facing. FYI.

Looks normal to me. Check Activity monitor for CPU usage.

Hi RehabMan,

I didn't want to start another thread because I thought my problem could be posted in here.
I have had Yosemite installed for 6 months on my 4530s, I must say it has never been lighting fast but very useable. Lately I have noticed a slight degradation in performance. The beachball has become very frequent, there is a 2 sec delay when I open a folder.
Even recently I had problems opening Textedit or Preview (or they wouldn't quit).
I've also had sudden system restarts, restart after sleep...
I'm sure there is a lot going on...
So I have followed your instructions and here are the files, if you could have a look at it that would be much appreciated



Mobo HP Probook 4530s (clover) os 10.10.3
CPU i5 2430M 2.4Ghz

Thanks RehabMan for looking into it.
Indeed yes there's a bit of cleaning up to do.
So, I have taken the incriminated items off, I have also uninstalled some start-up items that could have caused sluggish performances... So far I haven't noticed any great improvement, but let's see how it goes after a few more hours...
I guess apart from that you haven't noticed any major anomalies?

Well... if you want me to check, post updated files.

But it is clear from your ioreg that you used a very old version of the ProBook Installer. For example, it does not use GenericUSBXHCI.kext anymore.

Thank you so much for your help, here are the updated files

I think I used the Probook Clover installer that was current then (maybe I would say around April 2015).

(I just checked mine was dated from May 2015)

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,

if [ -d ~/Downloads/RehabMan ]; then rm -R ~/Downloads/RehabMan; fi
mkdir ~/Downloads/RehabMan
cd ~/Downloads/RehabMan
patchmatic -extract

Note: It is easier if you use copy/paste instead of typing the commands manually.

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.

And output from:

kextstat|grep -y acpiplat
kextstat|grep -y appleintelcpu
kextstat|grep -y applelpc

Also, post EFI/Clover folder (press F4 at main Clover screen before collecting).

Also post output of:

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

Ok hope I did it properly.
I just realised I had to go into debug mode in Disk Utility to access my EFI partition.
