Has anyone noticed degraded perf of their machines after upgrading to macOS Tahoe w/ Liquid Glass? Scrolling and rendering of everything web is just mediocre. How about your vibes?

The first few seconds/minutes I felt the same but it was fine quite fast. I think the typical spotlight reindexing was the culprit.

In my case it's consistently poor web experience. Chrome scrolling and rendering is lagging so hard that it's hard to believe. The same page on Safari works flawlessly.

Mac version? SSD? Any large update requires a bit of housekeeping (eg Spotlight)
