2012 MacBook Pro EXTREMELY SLOW after 10.11 upgrade


finally bit bullet , upgraded 2012 non-retina macbook pro mavericks el capitan , i'm starting regret it.

upgrade process went smoothly until needed log in. logged in account, stuck spinning wheel , beach ball 5 minutes. spinning beach ball turned normal cursor, spinning wheel remained. taking long, reset computer find still @ installation bar , apple logo (implying me installation never finished).

reset computer 5 times, find stuck each time. so, reset nvram , computer able finish installation.

again logged in account , able go through set process, painfully slow, taking 2-3 minutes go 1 step next.

computer logs in fine, entire os extremely slow. opening 1 page, lightweight pdf takes computer 2 minutes so. in fact, computer unusable have use ipad type post.

advice on how make computer perform again? thought update supposed improve performance, not degrade it...
 

it's spotlight re-indexing. can check processes running in activity monitor , think 2 main spotlight indexing processes mdworker , mds. if taking lot of cpu, it's indexing. can chill , wait spotlight finish. if want disable indexing because need use computer, see:

http://www.iclarified.com/49187/how-to-disable-and-reenable-spotlight-indexing-on-your-mac

haven't done other places suggest same thing. mentions os yosemite, article written before el capitan , procedure same.

bought base (4gb memory, 500gb hdd) 2012 mbp non-retina couple of weeks ago. had el capitan , didn't have problems you're having problem isn't 2012 mbp , el capitan on it's own.

edit: shouldn't disable spotlight permanently without researching implications of doing first.

Sean Penn, "Chapo Guzman", and Rolling Stone

if you've spare twenty minutes or (and inclination) take @ sean penn's rambling account of meeting (then) fugitive mexican drug lord "chapo" guzman. its interesting on number of levels. not quality of sean penn's journalistic work. first observation had there remarkably little actual interviewing going on. penn's limited spanish ("hola" , "adios") played part. guzman made number of statements, claiming turned narcotics because there no other means of earning living. beyond that, nothing groundbreaking. sean penn himself of polarizing figure. guy rose fame jeff spicoli fancies himself of outlaw journalist, without writing chops of hunter s. thompson. prose of intelligent man; stylist ambitions out of reach of abilities. uses word "brume" describe aftereffects of bout of flatulence. pretentious word (i presume) not technically accurate. mentions twice expensive wristwatches sported guzman's so...
