I've just moved to 12.8.2 and os 10.11.


I'm experiencing very poor / laggy vertical scrolling performance....and vertical scrolling is something I spend much of the day doing, so this is a significant slowdown for me.

Like many of us, I'm still on an older machine while we wait interminably for Apple to release a modern professional machine.

2010 3.33GHz westmere mac pro PCIe "cheese grater" tower here. 24GB ram, stock apple three head video card + KONA LHi.

Any performance tips appreciated.


addl notes: At first I installed 12.8.2 on 10.10 (which is unsupported) and read reports about graphics slowdowns, which I did experience. Upgrading OS to 10.11 has been better, but vertical scrolling w/ mouse is very unsmooth. (it's snappy when using Page UP / DOWN, and Scroll To Track.)
