Slow Boot and Intensive Power and Frequency Use

[calbear92]

Aloha,

Mahalo for putting this together. When I first tried to get this to work- it booted but I noticed that there were 2 or 3 hard pauses on the verbose while booting.

After User Profile page loads- it seems to have the spinning beach ball and takes a long time to load to the desktop. After it gets to the desktop, I see that Intel Power Gadget has high Power and Frequency use and the spinning beach ball kind of hangs the entire system.

From a usability stand-point, the previous Big Sur Open Core seem to work pretty flawlessly for the most part. But since I spent the last several months keeping an eye on latest Kexts, it runs a bit better- except for the aforementioned issues.

Any ideas? Under your initial Open Core EFI from Oct 2021- was it working smoothly? Since I'm not a coder, initially- I had to figure out how to get the Bluetooth to work since it's different from the previous versions. (I do have Touchscreen activated and kept it on an older Kext since the later ones disabled the Touch Screen).

Mahalo.
