Hello everybody,
Firstly I want to say that I'm terribly sorry to post this to the
list but I just ran out of options and since the issue is highly
technical I don't think anyone can understand the issue without
having some programming experience. So what am I talking about?
Well... my system started to behave a bit slower than normal randomly
so I had to spend a day to be able to reproduce it reliably. What I
found out is that whenever there is a progress bar visible on the
screen the system behaves a bit slower in particular the
magnification of icons in the dock and minimizing windows. It's not
that bad but it's noticeable. So basically what I did was to hover
over all the icons in the dock from one side to the other very
quickly and get a feel for the smoothness of the animation and then
make a progress bar visible (eg. Safari Downloads window or Software
Update window) and again repeat the hovering over the dock. There is
a slight difference but it really annoys me. The strange thing is
that I could reproduce it every time there was a progress bar
displayed. I should also point out that if I cover up the progress
bar widget with another window the sluggishness just goes away
immediately. I have talked with Apple Support, posted on forums and
no one could help me so now I'm really puzzled what to do since the
Mac is brand new (several days). I'm saying it again that I'm sorry
posting this to the list but I thought that since my problem has to
do with GUI stuff someone could offer some help/tips and/or confirm
the behavior. If it's only me having this problem then clearly there
is something wrong with the machine. I will be really grateful if
anyone can help me resolve the issue or at least see if the issue is
reproducible on other Macs. Thank you very much for reading this.
Kind regards,
Milen
