Why is MATLAB slow on a brand new laptop?

I bought a brand new computer with high performance metrics, installed with Windows 10. I installed MATLAB R2014b (8.4.0.150421) and I am experiencing very slow performance. 

I have checked the benchmark results, using the "bench" command. In most cases, it seems that the system and application are fast except for ODE and 2-D tasks. I had a similar laptop but 3 years older than the current new one with a Windows 7 OS, and it was faster than this new one. Why is MATLAB slow on my current new laptop?

This issue is likely due to MATLAB being run with compatibility mode for Windows 8. 

Removing the compatibility mode for MATLAB resolves this issue. 

Please refer the online resource to run a program with/without compatibility mode:
