I've MacBookPro10,1 (Late 2012 Retina 15") with 2.4GHz CPU, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD. I absolutely am loving the Retina screen, it's awesome.
While I'm aware of some threads around regarding the UI lag, I don't really experience it -- maybe because I'm not using spaces that much. However what I experience quite a lot, what is very frustrating to me, is scroll lag in Chrome / Firefox. Sometimes, it happens on pretty simple pages, like the very macrumours.com forums(!).
Everything is nice and smooth under Safari, but given the tools that come with Chrome / Firefox I simply cannot live without using those.
Did anyone experience similar problems -- very laggy scrolling on non-Safari browsers? I tried using Chromium, I tried Chromium internal optimisations, Firefox, Firefox optimisations, I checked CPU usage, while the lag is happening, CPU is idle (literally, like 3% CPU usage in total), I reset the PRAM, SMC -- nothing helps. Anyone have got any other tips to what I've just listed?
UPDATE: What I just noticed, is that if I've a very laggy scroll experience, if I disconnect my external screen, even the very same page starts being very responsive right away. This is just weird, anyone experienced that as well?
