My MacPro 5,1 appears to require frequent SMC reset to function properly. If I do not unplug and replug the MP before starting my daily work, I often notice that it become sluggish, programs load and run slowly and often hang requiring force quit. These problems don't appear if I reset the SMC prior to starting my day. I've seen discussions regarding NVRAM garbage collection and limited life. I don't know if this has anything to do with my issue. This problem seemed to start manifesting in the last 3 months. Here are my MP's details:
