When my iMac enters sleep, and then I wake it up — either shortly after, or the next day, while it responds to the wake request quickly, it's basically unresponsive for 45 seconds+ after.
Specifically:
- Opening a new window for safari (which was still running on sleep) takes forever
- scrolling in mail will show blank space
- bringing up Alfred can take a while
Things to note:
- Late 2010 i7 iMac w/ 1TB disk & 8gb
- Mavericks w/ all updates applied
- HD is audibly being hit aggressively
Is this a known issue, and if not, can I run some tools to tell me who is accessing the hard disk.
At this point, I'm considering a new computer, but it seems odd that a i7 w/ 8gb is becoming pretty useless for light email & browsing. 🙂
