Unfortunately the number of updates is to be expected.....
Did you use mintUpdate?
Did you allow level 4 and/or 5 updates?
I have updated just about everything and in both a desktop and a laptop (not level 4 or 5) and does not experience a performance degradation
What I have noticed is that copying a few MB (well about 50) is lightning fast, but large files like an ISO can slow down to 5 MB/s but is generally done at about 16 MB/s between two partitions on the same disk - which is a "disk speed" of 32 MB/s which is acceptable
