[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 941873, member: 26315"] Look at the virtual memory usage in your screenshot. It's like GB's of virtual memory used per Application process. And as we know VM is just Hard Drive space iused as pretend memory. And it takes more processing power to write to and from the Hard Disk all the time if there is a lot of VM being used at the time. How much memory is in your Macintosh? Maybe it's time you bought yourself a memory upgrade. Then you'd be using all the new memory and not writing to the hard disk for virtual memory all the time. Well ask other users here for a 2nd opition on my suggestion first though. But that's what I think could be the issue there. [/QUOTE]
