[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1492632, member: 56379"] Like I mentioned...the amount of time it takes for the swap file & page outs to "grow" to a value to effect system performance is different for different people. If this happens to you within 2-3 hours...then that's probably due to your usage patterns being more extensive than someone else's. I would suggest having Activity Monitor open 100% of the time so you can monitor the page out & swap file values...so you can see what's "normal" for you & your computer. This will allow you to see them "grow"...and reboot more often as necessary to maintain optimal system performance. You also could have some sort of app. constantly running in the background that is causing the page-outs & swap file to grow quickly. I've also found (for example) that online gaming can cause the page-out & swap file sizes to grow quickly. Not that I'm aware of. Restarting/rebooting seems to be the best method...and larger amounts of installed ram helps. - Nick [/QUOTE]
