Yosemite OS X is still one of the best experiences I've ever had with an operating system. Apple has done a fantastic job and it is clear from the moment you start working with him. A level of performance can not be faulted, and that we are in the first version, although there are still things to improve. As I said in my review after upgrading to the new OS X , I felt released a new Mac but with all my files available.

In fact, everyone who asked me said they thought this option was another novelty of the system. FileVault is not new to OS X Yosemite and users who wanted to encrypt your information did with previous versions without problems (from 10.3, and we go through 10.10).
When enabled FileVault then? That depends because of data each containing on your Mac, but I would if I worked professionally with my bank details to third parties, on a secret project for a company or government, if I keep information that compromises stability a family or a country ... And there are always alternatives as secure notes that we could serve.
Cases where the majority of users who have activated do not really need. Especially since it's FileVault, which sounds fantastically well " My taped information to anyone if stolen can make use of it "has a huge drawback: The Slowness .
Why does the slowest FileVault Mac? As a matter of logic operation once it is understood, as the data is being encrypted and decrypted continuously. So ordinary users, who are all day watching things on the net, downloading, moving files from one place to another etc noticed that FileVault turns our team on a turtle, regardless of the speed we have in the processor, gigas RAM ...
So if your computer after installing Yosemite is slow is not because Apple has done a worse OS X Mavericks or because they want you to buy a better computer, nothing like that. It has to do with FileVault box.
The breakthrough brought Yosemite OS X over its predecessors is admirable and worth than any apple user enjoy the experience that this involves all levels.
If I write this article is to prove to you that is not unique operating system problem, but there are two "guilty":
Apple complicate things by adding the possibility of FileVault during installation without the possibility of skipping the step if you do not know what it entails and the user will not be clear which means their use and not worry about knowing more detail.

OS X slow Yosemite and back to OS X Mavericks
But not everyone shared my experience. More than 100 complaints have received through comments and emails from users who are Mac had become terribly slow in every way (including on and off).
Computers responding perfectly with Mavericks and now Yosemite no. Why ?, What's going on?
So these days due to travel've been more disconnected've had time to think about it and I think I found the solution. All or most of the slowness that has caused many users coming back (or want to) to OS X Mavericks was the FileVault.
OS X FileVault Yosemite and happy
Before writing anything more I have to give him a slap on Apple. Let's see, when it introduced the iPad Mini 3 was talk of scam and I, however, I approached the issue from another perspective so it did not look like this.
What I can not understand and I can not stand is the reason why Apple has decided to give the option to activate FileVault to install OS X Yosemite . It is assumed that when you install a device should not encounter obstacles and everything should be intuitive, which on this occasion has not happened, nor happened to iOS 8 where you were asking questions about privacy that more than one picked offside but hey we'll talk another time.
What sense does that users faced with the decision to activate or not FileVault to configure a new OS X? None, especially when you consider that a high percentage they sound like Chinese and do not understand what it takes to make use it.
The description given on the screen was very similar or the same (I do not remember now) that can be read on the tab Security and privacy within System Preferences :
ileVault disk protects data by automatically encrypting the contents. If you forget your password and the recovery key data will be lost.So I understand that less experienced users, and after news that are read on the little security we have in our mobile devices and computers, have enabled this option and have set up FileVault on your Mac.

Yosemite OS X is fast and it's great
I do not remember reading much criticism with an Apple operating system, and see that when all hell broke out Lion of God, for it is quickly dubbed "Apple's Vista".The breakthrough brought Yosemite OS X over its predecessors is admirable and worth than any apple user enjoy the experience that this involves all levels.

I have FileVault enabled and Yosemite is slow
Can also occur. The solution here is to reset the PRAM. If you are noticing that when zooming, press the key to raise and lower the volume etc there is a small delay in response or lag , so I do it.Immediately after turning on the Mac have to let down the keys: cmd + alt + p + rIf you did it correctly you will hear a second time on computer startup sound. At this time you lift your fingers and expect to boot normally.
