    Not for most computers, as it works perfectly with mine !

    What hardware do you have?

    I have an "ancient"  2012 MacBook Pro Retina with 1TB SSD, 2.4Ghz i7, and only 8GB RAM and I don't get the spinning beach ball of death.

    However, I do get random lock ups every once in a while which require me to do a forced shutdown. I think that's just a bug though.

    I did a quick search on that iMac. By chance does yours have just a regular Hard drive instead of an SSD?

    Also you can download BlackMagic's hard drive speed test app to see if your drive is slow. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/blackmagic-disk-speed-test/id425264550

    I added my speed tests from my original 250GB SSD and the new 1TB SSD from OWC, I just added in my MacBook Pro. Quite a nice speed increase with the new SSD.

    I just press start. I never select a folder.

    Oddly slow write speed you have there, which is what the majority of C1 is doing.
