Early 2013 13" MacBook Pro runs slow and uses a lot of RAM, why and what can be done?

Problem description:
My computer is using a lot of RAM. Wondering if there’s a hardware issue, or a software issue, or something else. I currently have no programs open in the Doc, besides EntreCheck. and the RAM is showing about 75% used. I’m looking for suggestions on what I can do to speed it up and make it more functional, and efficient for doing design work. I recently upgraded from the original 4GB RAM (2x2GB), and from the original HD to a 512 GB SSD drive, and upgraded to Yosemite. Perhaps that was too much for this machine? Please help with anything that I can do to make it better! Thanks in advance!
I have a recent back-up, I'm open to saving user files and starting from scratch with the current hardware, etc... but would need some direction on how to do this. I did upgrade myself using Apple provided instructions.
Here are the EntreCheck results:

Here's the new EtreCheck that I just ran. At a glance, it seems I may have missed deleting some things or they are stored in an additional location? I haven't jumped into anything yet to really test if there's a difference in performance for me. Once I do I will post that information.

Requirement: Insp lot of self Certified material should not get skipped

Hi Gurus following is req pls suggest me
Requirement: Insp lot of self Certified material should not get skipped
if there is a change in Material Revision. As of now Auto Usage Decision
takes place on Self certified material Lots. This happens even after
there is a material revision. This is undesirable as QC is Not able to
ensure the implementation of design changes.
Apps

i have understood the following from ur reply
new revision created by design- purchaser creates po- materials comes in quality - auto skip
quality don't come into picture in ur scenario
solution :
new revision created by design - while creating po they will get error q info record for new revision not present- intimation to quality for creating q info record - decide whether to insp or skip it - normal process
use of q info record
in material master maintain control key for q info record.
create q info record for material, rev, plant , vendor
keep rest evertthing as it is - as a normal procedure material will be skipped
when any new rev is created - while creating po they will get error q info record for new revision not present- QC will get intimation regarding this new rev. -after all approval u can create q info record for this new rev. and then only purchaser will be allowed to create po.
make necesary chages in plan after every new revision

Xorg.bin use a lot of ram Catalyst

Hello! After installing catalyst from Violo's repo i have noticed that Xorg.bin use a lot of ram(when i start the laptop it is 25mb but it keep rising till it get to 1.5gb in about 2h and I restart to free memory) This is on X-server 1.7 and now i downgrade to 1.16.4 but no effect. Can someone help me please. Thank you!

elll wrote:Do you know how to downgrade catalyst? Should i use pacman -U catalyst? [link]https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … s#Warnings[/link] And if yes do i have to downgrade Xorg too because i allready do that?
The nicer way to do this is to use the [catalyst-stable-14.X] repository databases in this manner (where you replace X with the corresponding number):
[catalyst-stable-14.X]
Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/catalyst/$arch

No idea. Ask the AMD Developers upstream.

I have tried safe mode boot, NVRAM and PRAM reset but no luck...

First, try a Safe Mode boot.
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes a longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from your Apple () menu.
If that didn't help, reintall OS X..
Restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the built-in utilities in OS X Recovery

WhatsApp on E72 consuming a lot of RAM

I have observed that WhatsApp consumes a lot of RAM on my E72. So much so that I can't even use Maps or browse heavy pages. To free up the RAM, I need to switch it off but even though I exit the program, it still is running in back ground and consuming the RAM.
Is there any way that I can close this program ? Currently I am using NetQin to close it but its a very lengthy process.
Also if any of you are using an equally good program kindly inform so that I can switch over.

anyone with appropriate response?!!

Need lots of RAM

My jvm really plays nice with other programs. How can I tell it to be piggish and take lots of RAM?

dminter:
Thanks again. You were exactly right. Piping the results of this slightly less trivial program shows that the jvm grabs a minimal initial heap, and then expands, up to the stated max, as needed. This one dies with .25G in the heap and 3MB left free if called with -Xmx256M.
public class test {
    public static void main( String[] args ) {
     int K = 1024;
     byte[][] buffers = new byte[ K ][];
     for ( int i = 0; i < K; i++ ) {
         buffers[i] = new byte[ K * K ];
         System.out.println
             ( "free: " + Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory() +
             " total:" + Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory() );
        System.exit( 0 );
    } // end of main()
} // end of test

Safari keeps going through my RAM and CPU

Hello, I have the up-to-date (5.1) version of Safari running on my OS X Lion. Despite the update, I'm still experiencing RAM and CPU downfalls because of the process "Safari Web Content", most of all when I surf the Facebook website (sometimes it reaches 75% CPU and 1.7GB RAM levels).
Do I simply have to wait another Safari update to fix this or is this completely normal? Before the Lion update I did not experience this bug, as I remember.
Thanks in advance.
Giovanni

The problem evolved. Thanks to another question, I realized some Safari extension could make the RAM collapse, like 1Password extension. But now if I want to disable them, the Extension tab in preferences just remains blank!

Leopard Safari requires reloading user name and password

Tried asking this another way and no one answered, which left me to wonder if no one on this forum knows the answer or it I wasn't clear in asking it? Let me be more specific: Leopard Safari requires a user name and password to be entered each time an appropriate web site is opened, even when "refresh" is clicked. For example, I use "myyahoo" for the homepage, but now each time I open Safari, I am required to reenter the user name and password. Ditto every site I have saved autofill data for. This did not happen with Tiger, prior to upgrading to Leopard last Friday. I also tried phoning the Apple Care support number -- a 37 minute wait produced someone who said my call needed to be forwarded to the Safari desk, and likely involve another extensive wait. So I gave up that idea and am trying here again. Help!

Thank you! In Preferences, all the autofill boxes are checked. Just to be sure, I unchecked them all then rechecked them. Autofill form works in Edit. Before the upgrade, Safari was able to maintain user names and passwords on sites where I wanted them. After the upgrade Friday evening, Safari stopped doing this on all sites where I already had a user name and password, including the Mac site. Simply, I am now required to re-enter this information every visit to every site, even if I just click refresh, not only when I exit Safari and return. Even if I leave a site where I have entered the password, visit another site, and then return, the user name and password must be entered again. I have still had no luck getting Apple Care on the phone. This morning I bit the bullet and decided to wait until finally somebody answered, but no amount of patience can listen to scratchy wait music for more than 45 minutes, which is when I gave up. So if someone here doesn't understand this, guess I'm stuck having to enter this information again and again and again... or figure out how to get back to Tiger.

Lots of RAM, how to use it?

Hello everyone
Does anyone have any experience of running two instances from the same SAP system on a single Linux server in order to make use of a lot of available RAM? The situation is as follows:
- SAP R/3 4.6C, Oracle DB on 64-bit proprietary UNIX
- 3 app servers on 32-bit Intel processors running SLES 9, with 12GB of RAM each
- 3 small SAP instances with approximately 20 work processes each
- Each instance uses standard zero administration memory management (EM of 500MB, etc.) in order to make best use of shared memory, given the 32-bit address space limitations.
The SAP app instances don't use a lot of the underlying available memory so we see a free memory value of ~ 6GB on each server. What is the best way to make use of these unused memory resources? This is what I can think of:
1. increase the number of work processes on the already existing instances. Since Linux uses late swap allocation any additional memory load from additional WPs will tend to consume physical memory rather than swap space.
2. install a second SAP instance on each app server to make use of the available memory.
The main issue I can think of with the latter option is that it duplicates buffers, which is a waste but it also lessens the load on the existing buffers which are limited in size due to a 32-bit address space. Does anyone have a different idea to add to the list?
Thanks for your input,
Dáithí

In the case of having extra RAM, to get better performance is suggested to install more Dialog instances, or Apps instances for the production instance or the slowest instance.

Safari using up all the RAM

if I leave Safari open for an hour just regularly browsing sites, Safari and its other process Safari Web Content will use up all the available RAM on my computer. I have 4GB total, and eventually Safari will use up all the rest, usually 1-2GB. Any idea what's going on here? I have adblockers, such as Glimmerblocker, and extensions in Safari but they didn't affect Safari this much before 5.1/Lion.

Using Lion on 17" MacBook Pro -
I don't know about MDS - don't know what it is - but after seeing available HD space disappear gradually down to nothing when using computer - I tried all sorts of disk cleaning utilities - and have found that ---- AT THE LEAST --- gian swapfiles are engulfing the var/vm folder, taking up that HD space.
I read elsewhere that this is a Safari memory management problem.
Is it also MDS, whatever that is?
Is there a solution?
Sometimes restarting or doing shutdown and restart helps.
Sometimes the same HD space remains disappeared.
HELP!

Apple Contacts Uses a lot of RAM?

Since installing Mt Lion, and when running Contacts, I keep getting a lot of diskactivity, machine slows way down, and this one app uses 5GB of 6GB ram. What is going on?

Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? Whenever I try to scan more than a few pages at a time, my computer slows down to a crawl.
I think the issue stems from the Overview scan, which goes directly into memory...One overview scan took Image Capture's RAM usage from ~18 MBs to over 200. After a second Overview scan, RAM was up from 210.4 MBs to 390.2 MBs. A third takes it from 386.5 to 476.0.
Obviously, this is a major issue, as I only have 2 GBs of RAM. I know that I can get 4 GBs, although RAM prices are high at the moment, but the fact that this program still takes up so much is not good. Is there a way that I can "purge" old overview scans from RAM?
