How to speed up my computer by alphabetadelta

"This was extremely worthwhile - an hour spent speeding things up will save me countless hours later, not to mention reducing stress"

How I did it: I just googled 'how to speed up macbook pro' - then I did about half a dozen things which came up.

The biggest thing that sped things up was accessing the 'Application Monitor' and stopping the processes that were taking up the most CPU.

I also realised I was critically close to hard-drive capacity, so I used this excellent app -
Disk Inventory X

Which shows you were all the big files taking up all the space. I realised I had only half a dozen matroshka video files that were taking bulk space (40 gig). Very easily to delete.

Now the computer is working way faster

Woah woah woah – I don’t even know you and you’re inviting me to your place?

I’m very flattered, but I need trust, commitment and connection before I can do something like that

:)
