I have a new (< 6 months) Mac Mini running ML and it's infuriatingly slow opening applications. It's not unusual to wait 10-15 seconds after clicking to open Chrome or Spotify (or anything else). My 5 year old MacBook does the same thing in a fraction of the time (running SL).
- coldtea 14y agoAre you people writing this technical / developers? I mean, have you tried obvious things to find what's at fault? Like "Activity Monitor", "fs_usage" and such? Have you checked if you have apps that install kernel hacks? Or some badly written memory hog app installed in the menubar to run all the time? A < 6 months Mac Mini should have no such issues.
- aidos 14y agoYes - looked at all the obvious things you mentioned (though I hadn't seen fs_usage before, very useful, will see if that shows anything up). There's virtually nothing installed on the box - we stream pretty much everything and it's only used as a media center style machine. I've made an appointment with the genius bar to see if they can shed some light on the issue.
- coldtea 14y agoWell, since you already tried the most techy things, then yes, the Apple service is your best bet.
