Something's causing my Mac to bottleneck on startup and on wake. I'm curious if I can isolate this by leaving a monitor program running so I can see what's eating up the CPU. My initial assumption was the App Store asking me to login because the choke lets up as soon as the app store login prompt displays. I could be wrong.
To be fair, I am a programmer so I know what I have access to (as far as code goes) when an application is running. So I deliberately do not sign in to app store, iCloud, or anything else that I did not specifically launch.How can I prefer to elect as few programs running as possible so code compiling and general development is not interrupted or inconvenienced. I'm looking for something along the lines of acheck CPU usage like task manager in the Windows OS.
I'm sure this is pretty simple but I failed to google it correctly. Might as well give someone some easy SE rep points.on windows allows?
