[QUOTE="sybawi, post: 1578259, member: 309538"] Update: After writing the above, I restarted the machine in safe mode, finding 50GB of HD free now, more than ever before! But opening activity monitor again cost me already 2GB to the 'black hole'. from activity monitor this time: Disc Activity: reads in/sec 30-1147 (min.-max. watched over just a few seconds) reads out/sec 44-209 data written 8GB when shutting down again, increase is indeed decrease in disc memory (down to 42GB on shutdown) data read 2GB, stable [/QUOTE]
