hi all, quick question. purchased 2011 13" mbp i5. upped 8gb ram.
still fair amount of beach-balls, today.
apps open (*-being actively used); finder outlook* safari* chrome firefox aurora excel word little snapper preview nzb vortex* - uncompressing nzb file, 7gb.
had in activity monitor because l getting few beach balls see if l getting page outs far 17.4mb , counting (18.2+)....
normal?
ms office apps notorious ram hogs. page outs cumulative since last restart, best way check restart computer , track page outs under normal workload (the apps, browser pages , documents have open). if page outs significant (say 1gb or more) under normal use, may benefit more ram. if page outs 0 or low during normal use, won't see performance improvement adding ram.
also, launch activity monitor , change "my processes" @ top "all processes", click on cpu column heading once or twice, arrow points downward (highest values on top). also, click on system memory tab @ bottom. take screen shot, scroll down see rest of list, take screen shot , post them.
