My late 2012 iMac, running snow leopard, used to literally take about two minutes to wake up after being asleep all night. I'd get a slightly greyed out screen with a loading bar and it took forever to wake up, then once it had my mouse would take another 30 seconds to connect through bluetooth.
Compared to my slower imac at work which woke up instantly, it was fucking terrible. I rang applecare and they tried to rubbish it off saying that the more ram the computer had the longer it would take to wake up, which I knew was utter rubbish.
Anyway... after installing mavericks my iMac now wakes up instantly. Good stuff.

> saying that the more ram the computer had the longer it would take to wake up, which I knew was utter rubbish
Not entirely false, when it goes to sleep it saves the entire content of ram to disk in a file called sleepimage. I thought it was a laptop thing to go into a low power cold sleep though so it shouldn't happen on an iMac

set, my late 2012 iMac does that grayed out wake up with Mavericks. My older iMac doesn't. Think it's a hardware thing? It does bother me waiting.
- It's not consistent though. Sometimes it's instant after a day. I can never predict when it'll be in a coma.monospaced
- Same for me - not consistntnylon

mono: that's weird. I thought it was a hardware thing but mavericks sorted it out for me...
Mine seemed to depend on how long it had been asleep. If only for an hour then it'd wake up a lot quicker than waking it up in the morning.
- I don't know why it does it. It might be a new thing regarding energy efficiency. It's just not always.monospaced
- Yea it's odd, I've owned probably 10 macs and this one is the only one that's done it. Glad it's fixed now.set

Any way to get back my finder chrome up/down arrows within scrollbars? Actually not just in finder, in any application.
- Should be able to turn them back on in System Preferences > General.nato
- Cool. I'll check that tonight. It was driving me bananas! Thanks.lvl_13
- Don't think they have the arrow thing anymore...

My multi-touch gestures on the magic mouse aren't working. It still tracks and scrolls but non of the mission control gestures work. They're all turned on in preferences too.
Annoying.
- i use magic prefs, and things seem to be working fine. Is this a new issue for you?bulletfactory
- Worked perfectly before upgrading to mavericksset
- Fixed it now with third party appset

I just upgraded this week and it's a pretty big UX improvement. They also finessed the visual hierarchies, I like the OS. No performance issues yet but I'm on a maxed out brand new iMac.
- brand new iMacs don't ship with Mavericks, bro... you should be on Yosemitemonospaced
- there may be stock in resellers that have mavericks stillGnash
