I've never even launched 9, and had to skip 6 entirely (the pirate code dots were so much worse than 5, and 7 fixed it before 6). As for richmond's suggestions, this is a bog-standard Sierra installation, and there aren't any non-apple utilities installed, and 16gb ram on a mid-2011 27" iMac, quad-core i5. In fact, there isn't much *at all* installed, and rarely anything open but lived ode, open office, iWork, filezilla, acrobat reader and professional, scansnap, safari, firefox, and a brother printer driver I use the latest 8 stable or rc, and until some 8.1.4 fixes, have to use 7.1.4 for some combining of stacks. -- Dr. Richard E.
