[QUOTE="LSUMac, post: 1759542, member: 392755"] Quickbooks, Picasa (this one severely impacts performance but I have no other viable photo editing option at this time), Google Drive and Microsoft One Drive are all running all the time. I run chrome and safari, although not safari so much anymore. After a solid month of experimenting I realized that Safari and GMail do not play well together. I would routinely have to log out and log back in to retrieve attachments in gmail, if using Safari. Since switching to Chrome for gmail, i've not had that issue a single time. Some of my online bank/checking deposit websites do not work with chrome and some do not work with Safari so I'm forced to utilize both. Usually 6-7 chrome tabs open at a time. I have noticed on Activity Monitor that Chrome is a resource hog. This screen shot from A.M. is when all I have open is Chrome. Its God awful. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/GT0EJv4.png[/IMG] Here is that shot [img]http://i.imgur.com/dHILqtQ.png[/img] I definitely want to use one of these but, not knowing much about Mac, I am petrified to install anything that says it will keep my computer running smoother/faster. Repercussions of being a Windows user all these years. [/QUOTE]
