Sluggish (MacBookPro10,2) #35

Maybe a problem in general but my MacBook Pro Late 2012 13,3 runs very sluggish (graphic). Is this Big Sur or the patcher?

Thanks!

Which version of Big Sur? (Go to Apple Menu->About This Mac, and let me know the build number, which looks something like 20A1234x -- whatever it is, it'll start with "20A".)

In any case, the MacBookPro10,2 is actually one of the models that I personally want to run Big Sur on, so I will be looking into this at some point.

Beta 5.

Thanks for letting me know. I won't get a chance to look at this immediately, but hopefully soon. (Probably not until after the v0.2.0 patcher release, however.)

For what it's worth, there's a similar complaint in post #4,410 on the MacRumors Forum thread, but for the mid-2012 15" retina MacBook Pro.

I'll try to look at this soon (on my 13" Late 2012) but for the moment I'm just making a note of this.

So this morning I was able to try beta 6 on my MacBookPro10,2 and compare it against Catalina 10.15.6. (This was shortly before 10.15.7 was released.) Basically, the Dock icons bounced a little more smoothly during application launch on Catalina, but everything else was actually smoother and faster on Big Sur. In short, I failed to reproduce this bug.

(But I won't close this issue yet. I'll make a couple more attempts later before I give up.)

@vitwo I just had a thought: Is the the internal screen of the MBP, or an external monitor?

It appears this issue, or something similar enough that I can't distinguish it simply based on the information provided so far, is happening on supported Macs as well (as recent as 2020 Macs): https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOSBeta/comments/je4ivp/public_beta_janky_animations_on_external_monitor/
