MP 6,1 macOS 14.6.1 with OCLP feels slow

[adam9c1]

Fresh install of 14.1.1, updated to 14.6.1

OPLP 1.5

D500
8core
32GB
256GB

The system feels very sluggish.
The native screensaver is jittery

Browsing system setting is slow

I have reapplied the post install patches several times

With fresh install, macOS performs some initial background tasks.. such as Spotlight indexing your storage. Give it a day or so.

I did a fresh install and same process on another 6,1 at the same time, and that one is not experiencing such issues.
It does have slightly different specs
D300 8core 256 64

and correction, the affected computer has a 1TB module.

Same here. Sometimes my screen freezes for 15 sec.
the clean install was 1 week ago…
any idea for improvement ?

OCLP 1.5

mbp 14.3
16 GB
512 GB with 60GB something free

thanks

Your MBP has dual graphics processors, AMD Radeon Pro and Intel HD Graphics. macOS will switch between the two depending the applications in use. Is your "screen" the internal display or an external display? What applications and activities are you doing when the "freeze" occurs?

 

[Frankyie]

Thanks Bigwaff.
Screen is internal display.
Applications concerned are MS Excel, Safari or Brave.
To make it simple, I am doing mainly "office" activities. No movie or image treatment.

On my 2014 MBA w/ OCLP, I have the Wallpaper set to a static image and Screensaver set to "Message". I've noticed the modern screensavers can tax older hardware.

 

[Frankyie]

My wallpaper is dynamic. But when you are using your Mac, it is static... right.
From my understanding that is not what is using the ressources.
The configuration was exactly the same with MacOS 14.6 which I never had this slugglish behavior...
OCLP was the same 1.5.
So the faulty seems to be 14.6.1...

Same setup as OP. Haven't noticed the system being sluggish per se but checked browsing the System Settings and there is a noticeable lag of a second or two when you switch between one set of parameters on the vertical left hand side menu to another. Maybe this minor update isn't as well optimised as it could have been.

No the fault is you are using an unsupported system.
Any OS that is hacked, expect problems..__

Is there something you can add to the conversation that would help the poster? Even just sharing observations of screen saver and systems setting performance on any hardware you have running 14.6.1 might help the poster isolate the issue.

We do not hacked.
We do not try to use something restricted/forbiden.
We do not use something we avoid to pay.
We do not make Apple losing money.
We do not steal anything.

We just extend the life of our device with a a free software that is offered to the community.

I swapped the flash storage module between two Macs.
This one continued to experience problems.

I have since sold the computer.
All operated fine under a supported OS, after several OS reinstallations as well.
