Hey board!

Just trying to get a feel if anyone else is noticing their mac feels... Janky... after the upgrade to Mojave.

My Retina Macbook Pro 15" Late 2013 IG is a screamer on paper and under workloads it performs fine - but looks and scrolls like a Galaxy S4 when you're trying to use it. Those of you familiar with the Google term "jank" know what I mean, frame tearing, sluggishness, interface rendering sub-60 (By my eye the dock runs at 15-25FPS with only messages and one chrome tab open. What?). What is your experience?
 
Only system prefs are slow for me on all my machines. Everything else flies. Intel graphics on all mine btw.
