macOS Sierra: Mac slow after update - you can do that

To make your Mac faster again after the update, you can try the following:

• The easiest solution is to restart your Mac first.
• If that doesn't help, take a look at the Activity Viewer by typing "Activity Viewer" in the search above. Click on the "CPU" tab and then "% CPU" to sort the list. The list shows the apps and programs that affect the performance of the PC. You can close apps that require a lot of CPU power. To do this, click on the entry in the activity display and click on the "x" on the far left.
• In some cases, clearing the cache can also help. This means that data that is no longer required, for example from installations or updates, is deleted. To do this, open the Finder and select "Open folder". Enter "/ Library / Caches" there and delete all elements that are in this folder.
