Anything post 10.10 with a standard spinning drive will be frustratingly slow. 
Pop an SSD in there and it'll speed right up.

I have a mid-2011 iMac with a disk drive so I've been used to slow for quite a

I find that 80% of the time it doesn't reconnect to wifi from wake up and after 
that initial wake, first thing, it can be painfully slow, but after it's 
finished doing whatever it's doing, it doesn't seem any slower than with El 
Capitan. I have 12GB RAM, but no idea if that makes a difference in this case.
