[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1764309, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums. We moved your post here to the "Notebooks" forum where it belongs. You're running lots of unnecessary stuff. Get rid of Avast and the Western Digital helper mass storage driver. Neither is needed. You're also running "Little Snitch" which is OK but it does suck up some resources. There are other drivers being loaded that I'm not familiar with but you need to access whether all that load up is really needed. Startup in safe mode to see if your MBP runs better. You might want to run First Aid on your hard drive to see if there are any errors being reported. And good advice from Nick about making a backup! [/QUOTE]
