Aug 14, 2015 at 23:37 | comment | added | forquare | Could you edit your question to include the current specs of your MacBook Pro? E.g. Amount of RAM, CPU, hard drive capacity and usage, are you using the VMware drive that came with the Mac or an SSD? Also worth noting that using lots of RAM is a good use of resources and seen to be a Good Thing™. | |
Aug 14, 2015 at 23:29 | comment | added | bmike♦ | I'll leave this open for now, but the process is very simple and the same since 2001. Measure what you wish to improve. Reboot and repeat the measurements, then figure out if you have CPU / disk / memory as the constraint for the things you want to speed up and adjust accordingly. I'll see if we have a good answer on how that works and link to it. Without more details, this likely will get closed as a duplicate. If that happens, you can always edit it to put in enough details to get a new answer if warranted. | |
