Typing is perfect, no delay, however, scrolling through a text using left or
right arrows seems to have slight hesitation, sometimes, not always. Right now
as I type this in Mail, scrolling is as fast as I can go and similarly with
typing, clear as a bell. I have noticed some difference when in textedit or
Pages, but this is not consistent and seems to be improving all the time, like
there never was a problem !
My primary initial reason to do the upgrade was to have dictation not crash
Mail, and this has been successful. Plus I had lost the use of the j,k, and l
keys to pause videos in Youtube. This has been corrected.
I am intrigued with how Yo may be using RAM, it is almost like an Artificial
Intelligence in that it is learning how I use the machine and adjusting its'
memory to comply with my preferences, and seems to get more stable all the time.
There are numerable fine details included and I would suggest one goes through
the preferences for each App to check for any modifications.
No third party Apps, such as Amadeus Pro, have given problems.
I don't use an iPhone or iPad so have nothing to offer there.

2 questions,
1. Is the typing feedback slower than in Mavericks?
2. What did you find that made the upgrade worth while?
