[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1837041, member: 131855"] You've gotten some excellent suggestions so far. Assuming that the two computers are running the same macOS version I wonder if there is some extension or other piece of software running in the background on one computer that isn't running on the other machine. One thing that might provide useful information is to create new user accounts on both machines, log in to those accounts, perform some of the tasks that seem to be slowing down and see what the differences are.
