[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1640228, member: 307555"] I guess I am lost as to why you are going this route. First if you are having to kill processes they have to be loading from some apps you have auto starting or they are necessary for Yosemite to run. So what apps are you running that can't run with the specs your mac has? I have a 2011 with very similar specs to yours and I edit hour long videos on it with all kinds of special effects, titles, etc and it has no issues handling it. One of the nice perks to come with Yosemite was it's memory management ability. Just curious as to what apps your running that needs so much system resources that you have to kill processes. And does it help when you do? Here are some articles I found about how to eliminate processes: [url]http://www.interrupt19.com/2009/05/21/speed-up-your-mac-eliminate-background-processes/[/url] [url]http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2013/01/13/how-do-you-turn-off-unneeded-processes-on-an-imac/[/url] They make for interesting reads but not sure if it will help with what you want. There is a free app in the app store called System Lens that could be of interest too. I still believe Yosemite should be able to adjust and handle your system resources without having to kill processes. Lisa [/QUOTE]
