In case anyone missed it, the author of the submission added an update [1] saying that after some time the issue went away: > Aaaand it's fixed... I didn't do anything specific. It took a few hours (?!) after the upgrade. It scored many times low, but now it seems to score at a normal level (3000+). Really wonder what the explanation for all of that is.

Does iOS do the same post-install spotlight indexing as macOS? That’s often the culprit for post-upgrade slowdowns on Macs.

  I'd bet it is, though i don't have any insight - someone with the necessary knowledge and a jailbreak probably could take a look at the process list and know for sure... Speaking of slowness - not sure if i'm the only one, however Spotlight-searches on my iPhone (8 plus) have become dog-slow since sometime iOS 12 or so - before, the results would be instant - now it takes something between 3 and 5 seconds to return a list of Apps for example :(

Something similar happened with the macbooks a few months ago. Apple changed something in one of their services which made it impossible to open non-Apple applications and made the entire computer grind to an halt. After thirty minutes everything just started to work again for no apparent reason. Turns out that their service for validating application certificates went down for some time. Not sure if it’s related at all, but it’s still sad to see that our devices have become so dependent on phoning home that they can become unusable when the home is not picking up or answering incorrectly. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25074959 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25074959

  Using macOS on very shoddy internet is almost impossible. You're better of disabling wifi. I can't believe I'm typing this.

After the update I definitely had at least one day of terrible idle battery life. It's not uncommon with updates though, nothing alarming.
