Simon,
Do you get the same choppiness on the MBP as you do on the MBA? I ask
because I'm not seeing that at all on my 2017 MBP with similar specs.
A little quicker processing speed, but nothing to write home about.

And also ahappening on a MBA 2013 Mid, 8GB ram and I7 1.7GHz

Hi,
That's worth a try. Officially, according to Apple, those units only
accept 8 GB of RAM, althoughEveryMac.com <http://everymac.com/>says
that they'll take 16 GB. Since you still have the older RAM, it's an
excellent troubleshooting step.

I may have someone come over and swap the original 8gigs back in
and test.

Hi,
4 to 10% is nothing. I have things taking 95% and don't have the
choppiness issue. Your CPU processes things simultaneously and
sequentially sharing the load as tasks are required. You can have a
fast processor, but fewer cores, a fast SSD, but slow bus speed
between the SSD and the CPU. It's a complicated set of parameters
that make things work in an optimal manner. What model of Mac are
you running again? What is the CPU speed and RAM? All under About
this Mac if you need to know that.

No surprise. the top two processes are...

The top one was taking anywhere from 4 to 10 percent of CPU. Is
there a way to optimize this? As noted earlier, I notice this only
when I actually execute a VO command.

Hi,
Try going into the Activity Monitor and seeing what's at the top
of the list. Note which process is using up CPU resources. I
wouldn't suggest quitting the process yet, but take a look to
see what might be messing with your system.

Simon,
I may have spoken too soon. Seems you and I are the only

I don't think it's a specs issue,
I was getting the same issue today on a mac book air that
wasn't mine and would have had lower than average
specifications.
I also get it on an imac and my own mac books as well,
I think along the lines that it's a voiceover issue

Subject: Optimizing SSD drive
Some time ago I upgraded the 8gigs of ram to 16 on the
MBP and swapped the spinning drive for the SSD.
I don't recall if the issue with Voiceover existed
before then. What happens is often when I am navigating the
Mac, VO will sound like its being throttled back then comes
back quickly. Its random, I never know when or what may
trigger this.
So I will have someone help me put the 8gigs back
tomorrow and see if the issue clears up. But I am wondering
if the SSD is automatically optimized or not. If not, can it
be optimized?
This happens even when I have done clean installs and
have set things up from scratch but I am willing to try
anything to run this down. Thoughts?
