[QUOTE="Buc021, post: 1492509, member: 273419"] Hi Nick Thanks for your input as well. I have re-installed Opera (as an example) - after my Mac started up- and it takes 3 bounces for it to open. I wish to mention that Opera (as an app) is just an example. If I have my computer running for a couple of hours (Mail,Outlook, Safari and Chrome active) it seems that when opening another program (regardless if this is Opera or not) it takes a lot of time before such program opens. When my Mac has started up I have 2,5GB of free memory, and it takes 3-4 bounces for instance for Opera to open. A few hours later (with 2,1GB of free memory as an example) it can take up to 24 bounces for Opera to open. As mentioned, this also applies to Google Chrome (3-4 bounces when Mac has just started up, while it takes 10-15 bounces or more when I have used my Mac for a few hours) In activity monitor there is nothing that lets me assume that my system is slow, and the available RAM in any of such cases is between 1.8 - 2,2 GB. I have not installed all sorts of tweaks and there are 2 minor applications running at the top (a ”Kill all” application and a ”Sound amplifier”). Bluetooth is off as well. I have verified my Mac with Disk Utility during the time I was writing this post, and opened Opera again and it too 31 bounces (and this is 15 minutes after I opened Opera after a fresh install with 3 bounces) Closing Opera again and opening Microsoft Word 9 bounces. Closing Word and opening Chrome, 10 bounces. Maybe I am impatient, and of course the time to open a program depends on the size of the app. On the other hand iTunes opens in 5 bounces (even with Safar and Chrome in the background). I think it would be time perhaps for some extra RAM ... [/QUOTE]
