My MacbookMacBook Air (13 inch, mid 2012) started to be very sluggish recently: every action occurs after a visible delay (starting app, loading youtube in a browser, startup, etc). Besides, Newer Tech battery that I installed in mid-December died (macOS thinks I don't have a battery at all).

I ran Geekbench 4 on my machine after closing other apps (I actually left Dropbox and pcloud running, but closed Safari and itunes). It turned out that my CPU score in Geekbench 4 is three times less than reported by another user with exactly same machine):

https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/compare/6882608?baseline=6473068

The only difference I can see is that I use macOS 1310.313.3 while another user uses macOS 1310.313.2. Can poor performance of my macbookMacBook be attributed only to the difference in macOS version?

Why Geekbench result is three times lower than another result for the same model
