[QUOTE="hempomatic, post: 1833124, member: 335450"] I recently updated to the newest supplemental update for Mojave. I came very close to updating my computer to Catalina because of the issues I was having with sleep/wake mode and in retrospect, power management issues. I did NOT want to update to Catalina for a few reasons. First, I am not a tech guy and I hate change. Second, I'm extremely paranoid of any wholesale changes to my computer. Third, there isn't anything in Catalina I'm particularly excited about. The first thing I noticed after the supplemental upgrade, was the sleep/wake issue was resolved. BINGO, that was my goal. The next thing I noticed was everything seemed to be working better, at least with regard to what I use it for. I found that while editing RAW files in Photos, it took about 1/4 the time. I thought perhaps Photos was also updated, but the same dramatic performance improvement was apparent when using Capture One. Cool. Next I noticed that the computer was running much cooler and the fan wasn't coming on. Never a bad thing. THEN, this morning, after forgetting to plug the computer in last night, I noticed there was only about 2 or 3% drop in battery power. Since upgrading to Mojave, I would lose 50% of the battery and it was regularly totally exhausted if I forgot to plug it in. I have ABSOLUTELY no idea if this is typical of the supplemental update results, HOWEVER, if your computer is running like a slug, and you are thinking about Catalina, do yourself a favor and make sure you have the most recent update. ken [/QUOTE]
