About 30 minutes ago I ended up restarting because my computer was unusable, only to find the exact same behavior after logging back in... It seems to be getting better now but wow, there was about 40 minute where I could essentially not use my computer because Apple's infra was getting hammered.

Good god, I thought I was losing my mind. I've been debugging those hangs, but hadn't made the connection with the OS launch. You have helped to preserve my remaining sanity.

Yeah, my mouse pointer was freezing for 90 seconds (and was jumpy at random times otherwise). If all of that was simply due to something being unable to phone home, then I think we have well surpassed any “benefits” of this “security” architecture.

Omg, I keep rebooting in the last 20 minutes for no obvious reasons. Activity monitor just shows most of the apps as not responding.

Could it be because of this?
