Slow Wake from Sleep with 10.8.5

I also have the same experience. Late 2012 iMac. Very slow to turn on the display from sleep and very slow to log-in...beach balls every sign in

Had the same issue today with my 2012 iMac. Took several minutes to wake.

As soon as I installed 10.8.5 on my late 2012 iMac I noticed that it was very slow and unresponsive to wake from sleep.

The update was originally installed through software update, but I have tried installing the combo update, resetting NVRAM and repairing permissions, all to no avail.

Anyone else?

You're not alone. It is slow on my late 2012 iMac as well (with Fusion drive, GTX680MX, etc). See this post and this post.

If I wake the computer and try to immediately log in it has a hissy fit. The only workaround I know of is to be patient and wait 10 or so seconds. I basically just wait until I get a blinking cursor in the password dialog box after waking the machine.

Same problems. I thought of going back to 10.8.4 since I have a full bootable clone, created just before updating to 10.8.5, but haven't decided yet.

Same with me also.
Noticed in Mac Hd > Library > Preferences > systemconfiguration
theres an autowake plist, could deleting that do any harm?

I’m having the same issue: slow to wake after the recent OS X 10.8.5 update. I have a wired mouse, and a trackpad. Often the trackpad won’t even respond for quite some time after the cursor is found with the mouse, about another 10-seconds after the initial 10-seconds. This behavior is making the computer feel like a 2008 model.

I'm wondering if I should restore from a TimeMachine backup?
