Enventualy I found out what my problem was - and it was complex

My Usage of Sikuli 
    I call Sikuli from Power Manager which enables me to Schedule events to be done
    After the update to Sierra the typing speed was 5 times slower than before
    (i.e. Test Script Typing 10 lines of rubbish into textedit 1min 25 Seconds - run direct 20 seconds)
    Sikuli was called using a command script
    After working with "Power Manager Support" I found that calling Sikuli using Applescript resolved the issue

Title:
  [1.1.1] macOS Sierra 10.12: type() gets very slow after about 40 sec
  runtime - fixed 2016-10-10

Status in Sikuli:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  ********* RaiMan tested and confirmed

  after about 40 seconds runtime, the type command pauses about 10
  seconds at key release for each following single character/key.

  This is the same problem as we had with click actions with OSX 10.10. 
  It was caused by some strange behavior of the Java Robot deep inside.
  At this time, type() was not yet affected. But now it seems to be.

  this is my test script, that recovers from the situation with an
  intermediate highlight.

  # TextEdit must be running with an open text window
  switchApp("textedit")
  x = "asdfghjklyxcvbnmqwertzuiop"
  type("a", Key.CMD)
  type(Key.BACKSPACE)
  wait(1)
  start = time.time()
  for i in range(50):
    type(str(int(time.time() - start)) + " ")
    for c in x:
      lap = time.time()
      type(c)
      if time.time()-lap > 1:
        getCenter().grow(50).highlight(2)
    type("\n")

  After detecting the extended delay, the problem is fixed by the
  highlight.

  After Upgrade to Sierra the Type Command seems very Slow
  Is anyone else finding this or is it just my old Mac struggling
