[SOLVED] Random hangs and freezes Mojave

[icezar]

Hi everyone.
Ever since installing Mojave I've been experiencing extreme slowness. No idea what's causing it. Everything worked fine under High Sierra.
I am attaching troubleshooting files and details here.
Any support is appreciated.

Geekbench score in High Sierra.

https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/9880925

I have some other issues such as sleep not working but for now I'd at least like it to have the same speed as it did in High Sierra.

My configuration:

• AsRock x79 Extreme 4
• Xeon E5-1650 v2 - OC to 4.3GHz
• Kingston 16 GB RAM DDR3 1600 ECC - OC to 1866 MHz
• Asus GTX 760 mini 2 GB
• USB 3.0 add-in card FL1100 (Inateck KT4006)
• Samsung EVO 850 256GB SSD

You have 2 different SSDTs for 2 different CPUs installed in EFI>Clover>ACPI>patched. Make sure you actually generate a new CPU PM SSDT using Piker's script on the system that you are going to run the SSDT on, that SSDT looks quite old. You are using really out-dated drivers in EFI>Clover>drivers64UEFI, for the little amount of injects that you have added to your DSDT, you should break those out to individual SSDTs for each type instead of messing with DSDT. The advantages of using SSDTs over patching DSDT is that you can use the same SSDTs even after you have updated your motherboard BIOS, if you use a patched DSDT you have to rematch the DSDT after every BIOs update.

Thank you for the reply.
The drivers are if not latest , 1 version behind. The only ones that were indeed old were the ones for the FileVault.
The second SSDT was removed.
The BIOS on this board hasn’t been updated for years and the DSDT that I edited was extracted with the last update installed.
I tried a clean install and then restored the installation on HFS, issues persist.

Any other thoughts?

EDIT: it was apparent that even simple terminal commands (such as mounting the EFI partition) would be delayed when I had that URL blocked so I have a reasonable amount of confidence that a lot more is sent to Apple using that domain than just certificate validity information... just saying

Biiiig update. I fixed the issue. It appears that blocking http://ocsp.apple.com on your firewall can cause Mojave to retry for almost 1 minute the verification of an applications certification validity with their OCSP server.

Don’t ask why I had it blocked, I just did..
