[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1946923, member: 190607"] A Mac that used to seem fast doesn't suddenly seem horribly slow just because new computers are faster. I have a 15 year only iMac in my office that I keep to run legacy software, and I'm actually impressed by how peppy it is. I think that the most likely explanation for the OP's very noticeable slowdown is because his Mac has an internal boot drive that is a rotating disk hard drive, and somewhere along the way it was reformatted from HFS+ to APFS, which will cause it to run like a dog.
