Just curious, is that windows machine possibly not on an SSD? My windows 10 rig ...

Ya, I just built a new windows 10 rig. I went for single core speed over more cores (i7 8086k) for the very reason of stamping out any UI lag.

It's buttery smooth and I get no noticeable lag. Exactly 7 seconds from power button to login screen on a cold boot too.

A fair question, but both SSDs so it's definitely not that. Since we're on hardware differences though the Macbook Pro is 3 years old and has a quad-core i7, whereas the Windows 10 laptop is 1 year old and has a dual-core i7. I'm not in love with having only dual cores but I don't think that's the issue either.

its not about opening the profile its about getting to enter your password from a locked screen - i love my w10 machine and its quite snappy when logged in but every unlock has this half-second or so lag until it lets me enter my password - i suspect the animation of the appearing login-form but who knows...
