The thing is, this is in areas that worked fine for over a decade. Somebody must have decided that Xcode's text input code (that's one of the things that got slower) needs to be rewritten for no obvious reasons, but then didn't optimize it as much as the old code.

What's the point of new hardware if the new software that's written for it makes it just as slow (or in this case: much slower) than the old hardware?
