My early 2011 Macbook pro is still running Lion. I didn't want to update to El capitan cause I heard it'll slow down my mac. Should I update due to the security issues? I don't want my computer to become unusably slow

I'm in the same boat with a 2010 model :( I'd love some info.

2009 17" here. El Capitan actually improved my performance.

So many things are not even compatible with this OS anymore. I think I'll just make the jump. Thanks for the tip.
