Has anyone found Safari under Yosemite and iOS8 to be of "disappointing" quality? I know of DNS being broken in Yosemite but my wife and I find Safari to be extremely irritating- it just sits there at 20% of address bar progress after entering an address and pressing Enter. EDIT: And another thing - Spotlight now takes a significant amount of time to get results. I notice a large difference between my personal i7 2012 MBP with Yosemite and the 2008 single-CPU (quad core) Xeon running Mavericks at work. Maybe it's the disk difference, but I sometimes wonder if Spotlight is doing anything as there is no search indication / activity indication.
