Sounds like they resurrected a feature from the MIT Lisp Machines of the 
1980's. If you couldn't find the mouse cursor, you moved it around 
really fast, and it would turn into a huge cross-hair.

There was something like this in Windows or at least an add on to 
Logitech drivers I've had in the past.  Don't recall the activation but 
it may have been (if the mode was selected) that you'd just move the 
mouse and it would briefly be large before getting small again.

Could also be that it was on a laptop where the LCD display made seeing 
a white mouse difficult (earlier days of colour LCD displays).

This sort of thing is not a great leap in UI.  But I guess someone 
realized that when people can't see the cursor, moving ("shaking") it is 
the surest way since the eye is drawn to movement.  So make it big 
briefly when shaken.  Just don't stir.

The only person claiming anyone said it was a great leap is Tim
Streater. ; )

Yes, I'm told Americans don't do irony.

Some of us do, but irony, burlesque and hyperbole aren't taught in
schools here anymore. Mark Twain is dead to us. I sometimes miss ironic
phrasing on Usenet which is often followed by someone else posting
"Whoosh".

Yeah. Yosemite's running fine here on two Macs. El Capitan seems a bit 
sluggish, but that's possibly because I'm running it from a USB 2 drive. 
When I tested Yosemite I had it running from FW 800, and it was faster'n  
spit. Or maybe it's a dastardly pirate version that even now is 
overwriting the firmware on Nospam's Apple Watch.

Yosemite is slow here on a 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo (early 2011 27" 
iMac). Window Server uses lots of CPU, up to a whole CPU. I 
described it to the guy at the Genius bar as a dog and he agreed. I 
never had speed problems with earlier versions of OS X.

How much RAM is installed in the machine? What make & model of hard
drive is installed?

12 GB RAM. Two different hard drives. The reason I was at the Genius
Bar was that the original hard drive had died and had to be 
replaced. I had installed Yosemite on the original drive, and then 
backleveled to Mavericks because Yosemite was so slow. At the Genius
Bar I had them install Yosemite. Same story. Current drive is 
reported by Sys Info to be APPLE HDD HUA722010CLA330 Media. While I 
was at it I wanted to upgrade to a Fusion drive but the Genius guy 
said they couldn't do it; something about warranty which seems 
absurd because this machine is long out of warranty but that's what 
he said.

This very afternoon I had reason to fire up my old 17" Core Duo 
running 10.6.8 and was amazed at how fast it booted. Granted, I 
don't have it loading a dozen iStat Menus and other widgets, but 
still...

I have Yosemite on a 2009 MBP, a 2009 mini, a 2009 iMac, a 2012 mini, a
2012 iMac, a 2015 mini, a 2015 MBP and a 2015 MB1.

It is not slow on any of them, and Window Server does not take up a
whole CPU on any of the machines. The only machine anyone claims is slow
is the 2012 mini, but that is because it acts as my forward-facing
server and the kid thinks Minecraft should run at 240fps and anything
less than that is unacceptably slow.

Right now I have open Activity Monitor, Parallels Desktop running 
OS/2, Firefox open to a Facebook page with no animations, and 
Mail.app. BusyCal, NeoOffice, 1Password, and iTunes are minimized to
the Dock.

Parallels is using 100% of a CPU. Window Server is using about 3% of
a CPU. When I click on a Facebook video, Window Server usage jumps 
to 72% and the video does not run smoothly. With Mavericks there 
would have been no problem running a video and Parallels at the same
time.

You will probably need to do clean Yosemite install on that system. You 
can try debugging the issue, but that will probably take much longer.

As I said in response to JR, I had a clean install done on a new 
drive by an Apple Store tech.

You've got a dilemma. You want the latest apps, but you don't want the
OS that can run them. Windows XP is cheap on ebay, and the price of Win
7 is coming down. Linux is free or very cheap.

I do run Enterprise Linux 6.6 on three machines, and OS/2 on another.  
Win XP/7 live in Virtual Box on this iMac and on a Linux laptop.  Why 
should apps be so tied to the OS?  Wasn't that what got MS in so much 
trouble?  As in IE?  Couldn't apps be separate?
