[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1607421, member: 46727"] Thanks for posting back your specs. Looking at what you show and what's going on, you have some hefty requirements for what you're doing although the swap file is not being hit. Your memory looks OK which leads me to ask... how much free space is remaining on your hard drive and how often do you restart? We can try a defrag to speed things up but if your HDD is being pushed for free space, a defrag won't do any good. Before you consider doing a defrag, run a verify on the hard drive first. Let's see if there are any errors that might be slowing things down. You can also try using the free "OnyX" maintenance and cleanup tool. It's the only one we recommend and is safe to use. Download from [URL="http://www.titanium.free.fr/"]here[/URL]. OnyX will also do the verify for you and in addition check the SMART status of your hard drive. Let us know how the above goes and we can proceed from there if you think you need to do more. The iDefrag program can be downloaded from [URL="http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/16819/idefrag"]here[/URL] ($39.95) [/QUOTE]
