I am on a white plastic macbook 2.4 GHz intel core 2 duo with 2 GB of memory, running OS 10.8.5, and everything is unbelievably slow. I click on the wireless icon and I get the spinning wheel of death. I try to open a new window on chrome, and nothing happens for a long time. I open the laptop after sleeping, and it takes around 2 minutes to wake everything up so that the mouse moves.
Activity monitor shows that the 2 CPUs are doing practically nothing, 85% idle. Sometimes there is only about 14 Mb of memory free, but even if a lot is free, it is still slow. The Finder is even slow.
Ok, it *is* faster when there is plenty of memory free, but still - should I not be running chrome? it seems like a complete memory hog.
