MacOS Catalina: Slow by Design?
In our company many of us have similar issues. I have always loved OSX but this time it is driving me crazy. I though the issue was some sort of company antivirus&#x2F;firewall, or it could even be a combination of that and this issue (maybe my vpn + path to company firewall is what magnifies the issue in this post). The thing is that some commands take 1 second, some others take 2 minutes or even more. Actually, some commands slow down the computer until they are finished (more likely, until they just decide to start).<p>For example, I can run &quot;terraform apply&quot; and it could take up to 5 minutes to start, leaving my computer almost unusable until it runs. The weird thing is that this only happens sometimes. In some cases, I restart the laptop and it starts working a little bit faster, but the issue comes back after some time.<p>It&#x27;s already been a few months since I try to run every command from a VM in a remote location, since I am tired of waiting for my commands to start.<p>I have a macbook air from 2013 which never had this issue.<p>Any easy fix that I could test? Disconnecting from the internet is not an option. Disabling SIP could be tried, but I think I already did and didn&#x27;t seem to fix it, plus it is not a good idea for a company laptop.<p>Don&#x27;t we have some sort of hosts file or firewall that we can use to block or fake the connectivity to apple servers?
