Many thanks - will try increasing the RAM and will report back.
here's my experience (currently ranging from a 2010 Mac Pro with a
hybrid SSD/HD set up, a recent iMac on old spinning disks and a new
MBA).
SSD makes operations much quicker (e.g. start up)
Extra RAM makes the machine more responsive.
That is actually almost entirely incorrect factually, but it is my
experience. The MBA has 8 gb RAM and is far more responsive than the Mac
Pro with 7; but if I want to crunch heavy data (e.g. compress a video),
the Mac Pro barely breaks a sweat and beats the MBA hands-down.
So if you're doing heavy lifting, consider an SSD or hybrid disk. I
think you have to open the beast up for either so if you can do both at
the same time, it's worth it.
