Nancy10 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 hello ! I am trying to figure out why my high Sierra install is so slow compared to an original install on apple hardware. I know how original Mac Books feels and how much performance it has. It is surely due, to some extent, to the fact MacBooks use SSDs instead of SATA that I have. But that is still not everything, my boot is slow and even slower after updating to latest version of high sierra, opening apps takes considerable time especially with MS Office Apps, processor is used at a rate of 15 to 25%, most of it by kernel task, ... is there anyway of fixing those problems and/or upping the system 's performance ? I attached my Debug files and my booting Clover folder. please help me on this. Send me Thes-MacBook-Pro.zip CLOVER.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 There's a mess in your EFI folder and at the config.plist too... Do you really need all this kexts? The .efi drivers that I've selected is only for FV2, so if you don't use FV2, delete it... Why use all of this SSDTs if a single DSDT can do all the job for you?! If you want a full patched DSDT, you can call @MaLd0n. He have all the patches that you need 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy10 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Thanks Allen, I will see if the kexts are all needed. 19 minutes ago, Allan said: @MaLd0n. Can you help with the DSDT ? I really don't know anything about them not even what they stand for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy10 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) @Allan The Clover folder in the debug zip is not probably not the one I am using to boot, since I am booting from my USB device. and What is FileVault2?, I found out it was disabled on my install ( I tried this command `sudo fdesetup status` and it was Off.

So it is good that it is disabled since it will affect the booting time and the speed of data reading and writing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
