    11.5 still laggy on Early 2015 MBP?

    I’m on Mojave ATM. I tried Big sur 11.2, 11.3, and 11.4. They were all laggy on my MBP 2015. The animations were choppy and nowhere near as smooth as Mojave. I did clean installs everytime. I really want to update to the latest OS, but not if it makes my Mac slower. Anyone with 2015 MBPs on 11.5?
