I'm suing Apple for making Yosemite do this!
No but seriously, does it still lag on retina Macs? 10.1 and below were a nightmare to use.
There are new Intel drivers. Performance is much better on the Late 2013 13" MBP.
Are they ever gonna fix this??!?
I work with PDFs all the time and the past few months have been so irritating. If they don't fix it very soon, I'm done with my Mac.

No, he probably annotates PDFs in Preview.
Yosemite is a broken piece of crap.
Which model of Mac. Just saying "WiFi isn't fixed" doesn't help a bloody thing if it is working fine for others, especially those who didn't have a problem with it to begin.
BL.
I had also basically no issues. I'm sure 90% of the issues in this forum are user related.
I mean most people that complain probably do something like this
1) test Mavericks betas (10.9)
2) like the betas and keep them OR don't like the betas and downgrade
3) upgrade to 10.9 Final
4) test all 10.9.X betas, possibly including downgrades due to issues OR don't like 10.9 so downgrade to 10.8
5) test Yosemite betas (10.10)
6) like the betas and keep them OR don't like the betas and downgrade
7) upgrade to Yosemite final (10.10)
8) test all 10.10.x betas, possibly including downgrades due to issues OR don't like 10.10 and downgrade to 10.9/10.8
**** is gonna go wrong at one point especially if there is no clean install involved between betas and final versions
It's evidence of a possible memory leak in the OS. I expect thats one of the first things Apple would want to find and fix (if that is indeed the case).
Yeh... I did the same too on all my macs. You need to download the delta update instead. Checking the system requirements for the combo update stamps it stating 10.10 as the requirement, while the delta states 10.10.1 as its.

Interesting. I usually love testing betas and did that with Yosemite, but havent touched Yosemite since, until yesterday (so yet to try 10.10.2 which I'll try later today). In my case Yosemite is installed on the same SSD on its own 20GB partition, and its a fresh install of 10.10.1, not upgraded from betas. Here was my experience on a 15" 2011 MBP (the updated model with 2.4Ghz i7 CPU and AMD Radeon 6770M).
1) Running Mavericks as I do every day, with 20+ apps open, looking at GPU and CPU heat (at approx 45C) as well as battery life remaining after taking out the charger (about 7h30m).
2) Boot over to the fresh Yosemite install, with absolutely nothing running except the same temperature monitoring tool I had running in Mavericks. Find CPU/GPU running at about 55 to 60C, and battery life remaining estimated at about 6h00m. (no Spotlight was not indexing, that was finished on a previous boot).
3) Boot back into Mavericks and continue life as per normal.
Granted the above wouldnt be an issue on a desktop, or possibly a newer (r)MBP. But unfortunetly not that great on the model I own.
Strange thing they seemed to have done is in regards to Finder.
When you used to drag a file from one tab to another tab it used to highlight the tab you will copy/move the file to with a blue box. Now it just darkens the whole tab a bit which makes it harder to see which one is actually selected. What you guys think?

I was having issues with Yosemite up until I did a fresh install. My previous install had been updated continuously since 10.3 (cloned across machines.)
Worked great since.
Just updated to 10.10.2, went fine. Mac seems a little snappier, however it wasn't slow in the first place.

Yeah that's weird, no issue with mine in regars to temperature, although I haven't acutally checked the exact numbers.
Im not saying that Yosemite is perfect, there is definatly problems that even I encountered although those are more of the picky side rather than serious bugs. I for one did not encounter the WIFI issues but there clearly must be a problem with Yosemite and wifi due to the numerous reports. However the people that constantly complain that nothing works, that it is slow or unstable must be doing something wrong.

totally agree on the clean install solving all problems...yet, ironically, people would rather bitch then spend the time solving the issue with a clean install. I would love to see a poll on who had problems and IF they did a clean install
----------
we have virtually the same set up...works greta on a 6+ year old mac...with a CLEAN install
----------
its evidence of a possible memory leak BY A PROGRAM too....
I don't think a clean install will fix every user problem. In many cases, it can solve some problems.
I think so too because everyone I know has no serious issues with Yosemite. The most dramatic problem I had was that upon restart Yosemite forgot your wallpaper settings (change every minute) which is fixed now. Lol
I have clean installed several times and still run into system slowdowns when heavily using Preview. Mavericks never slowed down in the same situation.
I think the people with no problems are just people who use their Macs in different ways.
Yes, I had this on the Combo. Delta and SU install both resulted in a computer stuck on "6 minutes to finish update" three times already.
I am actually quite pissed (this happening on a 2010 Mac Mini, the disk has current Recovery Partition so WTF?).
I will try to upgrade other computer tomorrow.

Yep. Love my Mac Pro. It actually benches faster than most modern Mac's too.
Im thinking of picking up a used 2012 12 core if I can. Not a big fan of the current "trash can" Pro
Agreed. There are definatly some issues that are not user related like the Wifi or Bluetooth issues that were widely reported and a clean install will not help.
However the people that test all betas without a clean install, tinker with deep OS X settings, run ancient software/hardware or generally just do stuff that 90% of users don't do also tend to be the ones that come to this forum with the most obscure of problems. For those people a clean install is like performing miracle work
I have a clean install and guess what, others too. Thousands if not hundreds of thousand do. Many people don't speak english and don't report it here. Theres millions of other forums too.
Dont generalize if you can not prove what you are saying. This is my first mac, 4 replacements due to faulty hardware, loose screws, wrong repairs. and now these software issues.
Apple is not what I expected a premium product to be. and yes it is a fresh install. Seems like some Apple fan boys think just because they don't have, or don't want to see issues that there are issues.
Apple forums show more than 600k views. thats a lot, only speaking of the english user base regarding wifi issues.
Graphics Problems, a petition or more than 30k!!!
Windows seems so much snappier and smoother and has to deal with a lot more different kinds of hardware.
WHERE APPLES PROFIT GOING? Definitely not into bug fixing and development.
And the WORST part, Apple does not responde to any of these issues but tries to silently fix them.
TIME Machine did not work from the beginning of a fresh install of Yosemite!!!!! UI flaws everywhere! And I only turned on my new mac!
