One more interesting change:
Because of all the sluggishness, I keep the Activity Monitor open in a small window. After a reboot things run ok and memory pressure is in the green zone. But it doesn’t take very long - minutes - for everything to slow down and memory pressure to go into the yellow zone. This happens even if I’m not really doing much. This has always made me think that there has been some sort of bot on my laptop or something, but despite several attempts to search for it I’ve come up empty.
For the past 24 hours or so, I’ve been in the green zone. This is NOT the way my laptop normally behaves. Not only am I in the green zone, but I have far more stuff open.
Bots/viruses gone? ISP not throttling network usage? IDK.
If this is a small taste of what is to come, I like it! :-)
