[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1625503, member: 56379"] From what I'm reading…I'm going to guess that you don't reboot your computer very often. I would say you need to restart your computer…because the Swap File & Page-Outs are getting too large. This happens when the: - computer is run for a long time without restarting occasionally - can happen faster with less installed ram - and I think that it also is accelerated with a lot of online gaming (which I do almost daily) The MacBook Pro I'm using has 4gig of installed ram (just like your iMac)…and if I'm doing a lot of online gaming…I need to restart/reboot my computer at least weekly…and sometimes more often. HTH, - Nick p.s. FYI…restarting/rebooting the computer "resets" the Swap file and Page-Outs size to zero. [/QUOTE]
