Gary_GW Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I have attached two results from Xbench 1.3. Yes, I know it's outdated but since I started running my first Hackintosh I've been using it for a benchmark. It paid off, as now I could determine what is causing my performance problem in Yosemite. One is for Mavericks and the other for Yosemite. Results; Mavericks: 375.32 Yosemite : 178.58 What causes this huge difference can be found in User Interface Test Elements; Mavericks : User Interface Test 480.20 Elements 480.20 2.20 Krefresh/sec Yosemite : User Interface Test 55.65 Elements 55.65 255.42 refresh/sec What I am interested in, is it my build or is this actually a Yosemite problem? Any responses and/or fixes would be appreciated.

Allan Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hi, nice comparsion. In my machine (Laptop) happens the same thing, Yosemite is very slow and consumes a lot of my RAM (8GB)!! Buy Mavericks is very good and run smoothly in my Laptop.

fffeee Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It paid off, as now I could determine what is causing my performance problem in Yosemite. …according to an unoptimized benchmarking utility that was last compiled nine years ago when the Core 2 Duo iMac was released.

slayer2333 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 …according to an unoptimized benchmarking utility that was last compiled nine years ago when the Core 2 Duo iMac was released. In fact i didn't need the benchmark to notice the difference, my laptop is not really outdated so my rig's performance is not the cause, still i experience much more sluggishness with Yosemite than Mavericks which is much more responsive and smooth. All patches are already applied for my graphics, the remaining patches are within my DSDT and SSDTs. My 2 cents.

fffeee Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well the benchmark didn't actually tell you anything then. You are experiencing some sort of interface/graphics issue and the test confirms something is wrong but not what the issue is. If it were my machine I'd probably want to fix it.
