Hello all Getting to grips with the new features of Mountain Lion following my upgrade from Snow Leopard.
I find applications are taking an appreciable time (2 to 3 times longer than expected?) to respond. At this stage I ask WAMUG to monitor their experience. I don't want to spend time trialling possibilities, or doing a clean install, just now. Perhaps a trend of evidence will emerge over time. My iMac is quite workable so it is not urgent to pursue. The Apple Communities forum has some discussion on this topic but no very clear cause and direction has emerged. The problem may just be the processor. My iMac is late 2009 with basic specs (21.5" Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz) but with 12GB of RAM. 500GB hard drive has 360GB free. Previously found these specs were not good enough to drive AirParrot mirroring whereas a similar vintage 27" higher-optioned iMac had no problems. (I realise my iMac will not handle AirPlay Mirroring, which is a most desirable feature.) I think this also demonstrates the advantages of a solid state drive! Something to seriously consider for the next new computer - - -. (Probably no coincidence that Apple have been marketing SSD computers since Lion.)
