Has your Mac slowed down?

When I purchased this Mac it was fast. However some months on and it is noticeably slower now, and where I notice it most is on starting up an app.

When the Mac was new apps loaded almost instantly - literally, within a second! Now, opening an app such as Affinity Photo takes several seconds. It’s the same for other apps. WHY!? :triumph:

I am seriously considering posting a bug-report! I have maybe two or three additional programs (not running) and so can’t really see why there’s a slow down.

Also wondering why 4GB of swap was used when almost half the memory is still free.

For those of you who have Macs, have you noticed any slow down? How long does it take your apps opening?

Edit: Just did a hardware diagnostics check (hold down D on start-up) no faults reported…
