Whenever I boot into macOS and log in everything is slow and laggy. I log in and for the first few seconds all I can see is the dock and a grey wallpaper. After a bit the wallpaper finally loads and my widgets start to appear but they look white until quite a bit maybe a minute or two has passed and then that's when they fully load. After this I would assume everything has loaded because some time has passed but nope the animations are still laggy and opening things takes a while. I don't know why this is happening because after I leave the laptop alone for a bit (around 3 minutes or more) everything finally starts being butter smooth like it's supposed to be. I'd like to fix this because it's quite annoying having to wait for my laptop to stop lagging. I increased the VRAM to 2 gigs thinking it was a VRAM issue but that hasn't fixed the problem. I've attached my OC folder down below, Thank you.
macOS lagging for the first few minutes after booting and logging in

Hello Guest. Before you post check the Troubleshooting guide here, Dortania Troubleshooting
Yeah, that looks more like what I expected to see. Still has the ‘Service Recommended’ option for the battery, so the battery obviously doesn’t work correctly in macOS. I think this is why you have the lag, due to an issue with the battery.
Sorry I don’t know what to tell you, other than to replace the battery and see if that fixes the issue. As I don’t think it is a problem with your OC setup.

It is unlikely to be a Power Management issue. If that were the case then the lagging would occur when you ran the laptop on the mains power, not just when you used the battery.
Starting to use macOS Sequoia as your daily OS isn't going to be the issue either.
As the issue only arises when you don't have the mains power plugged in to the laptop, that to me points to the battery as being the problem.

That seems to be the most obvious option to me.
