[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1569151, member: 131855"] My suggestion would be to do the following the next time you are going to do some editing: 1. If it has been a while since you booted the machine reboot so that you start clean. 2. Open Activity monitor, click on the memory tab and make note of the numbers at the bottom of the screen (bottom of the tab). Activity Monitor is in the Utilities folder. 3. Go about your work as usual. When you notice the slowdown switch to Activity Monitor and make note of the readings again. 4. Post your results here and we can better advise whether a memory upgrade or SSD swap would be better. [/QUOTE]
