Hi,
I have a Mac Pro, 2.0 GHz, 1GB RAM.
The problem is that each application I run uses a large amount of virtual memory. For instance, now the VM size is 35 GB.
Safari with 10 open tabs uses 3.29 GB of virtual memory. The 4 terminal windows eat up 400 MB. Textedit and Preview: 350 MB each.
Is it normal?
Due to this, my Mac is slow because the hdd is busy dealing with the VM.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks
