Thank you, Tim, for your prompt reply. Yes, I rather suspected the low storage capacity and slow processor speed of my mid-2015 Mac. I performed the upgrade about two days ago, and the machine has been awake for a reasonable amount of time; so perhaps its indexing is complete. Had I upgraded gradually rather than jumping from 10.10 to 10.14, the slow VoiceOver awake time might not have been as noticeable to me. It's a small price to pay for an updated operating system.
