[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1219310, member: 184879"] i wouldnt be dissapointed, you are running two operating systems. Thats eating up your RAM, and it is unavoidable. Your Flash Player is taking up quite a bit, I would block it (I have three tabs, and watching a video, and my usage is 57 MB). Browsing is always a big one on RAM. run less tabs. here is my usage (I have 8GB) [IMG]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=14795&stc=1&d=1302772568[/IMG] running Safari, Photoshop, Safari (3 tabs, one flash video) Skype, iTunes. I run vmware and virtualbox sometimes, never run into RAM issues. i usually use BootCamp for Windows however. notice - my page outs are tiny compared to yours - this is the key to slowdowns.
