I don't have a database check option when option clicking. Previously AppleSpell would be high as well, but not this time. Activity monitor only shows high CPU use of the Evernote process > 150% and no other processes above 5%. I tried without WIFi on and although the application isn't syncing, text still freezes about every 3 seconds or so for about 1 second leading to a block of text that suddenly appears after a delay.

How did it actually end up working? Evernote is SO SLOW ITS RIDICULOUS It was not an EN issue, I had „beach balls of death“ in pages, safari and other apps as well, when EN was not even opened.Īfter the initial stuff was though, everything started to work fine, as expected.Ĭan you please tell me what you actually did that worked? Reading over this it sounds like you diagnosed the issue but I don't see any solution here. The Apple support has the chance to run a diagnosis through the web, so use it. If there is this background stuff (check for a process called „mds“ in the activity monitor, another is „windowserver“), it takes away a lot of CPU power. It is not a simple editor, grabbing letters from the keyboard as you go hacking away. Because EN in itself is a database, there are many transactions going on while you are typing. With support from the apple hotline, we found out that there was a LOT of background activity related to syncing hundreds of GB with iCloud plus files moved from my Win-PC and building the encrypted structure on the SSD. A little more horsepower than the air, but it was not working well for the first days.

My experience is from a MBPro, new and shiny.
