I asked the same yesterday in another topic. I have mid 2012 MacBook Pro that behaves terribly with High Sierra, while it was fairly snappy with Sierra. Now it takes about 5 seconds to start any app, even for simple apps like iTerm2.
Since I can't find too much complaints on the web about laptop slowing down and the reply to my yesterday question was that some users don't see much difference, I am now downloading Sierra and will install it on another partition. This should answer this question precisely.
I can't leave High Sierra as is because it made my MacBook Pro unusable.
- bluedino 9y agoDo a clean install. My 2010 runs just fine on HS with none of those issues.
- binaryapparatus 9y agoThanks. I suspect the same since I don't see too much complaints online. It is most probably just a weird timing when I got fed up with slow MBP while we see all the iPhone slowdown reports.

- bitL 9y agoI had a similar problem with late 2012 rMBP starting from El Captain - often after a touchpad click anywhere a rolling ball appeared for a few seconds before allowing to do anything, which was making it unusable. Then logic board died. So it might be a symptom your MBP is moving towards end of life or to "hot oven maintenance" checkpoint.
- csantini 9y agoSame issue here! Mid 2012 slowing down drastically since High Sierra. It's a common issue apparently! [1] I'm guessing it's a bug/feature in the WindowServer [2].
