the one thing i heard about and was sur= e to do was to turn off the “nap” feature on performance intens= ive apps

basically it is a system level low cpu state in= most modern compiled apps

just GET INFO on the app and then there in the info box= is a checkbox that says “prevent app nap”

=
that was the biggest thing i’ve noticed in complaints about poor= performance and beach balls etc - but yes for sure take a look BEFOREHAND = at your daily CRITICAL apps that  are must work ones - and check the w= eb sites for maverick compatible versions or updates before jumping into it= .

like there were immediate adobe updates to fix maverick= issues - i would think that most app vendors of programs would be pretty q= uick on fixes for maverick since that is on all new and shipping macs.

I’ve been running Mavericks on MBP Retina with all Adobe stuff = fine, but do keep an older mac pro back at 10.8.5 because it’s got le= gacy version software and plugins installed. Note: It is NOT a daily driver= .

Rob,

I'm working at a place with 2 FCP suites, one on Ma= vericks and one on 10.8.5.  The Mavericks one has severe problems with= FCP and Red Cine.  In a general sense it is unstable to the point of = being unusable.
As I'm not a FCP editor I can't describe the exact problems but bas= ically the system just beachballs a lot, especially when dragging footage a= nd folders around.

I don't know if it's just that one machin= e or if FCP in general is flaky on Mavericks, but if you rely on FCP then I= 'd be pretty careful and would not transition to it just yet.
