Hi all, I found my Mac to be getting very slow of late, just to login and launch apps and open documents was becoming tedious and so bought a defragmenter to see if it would help.
I bought iDefrag which I ran last week and it seems to have produced impressive results. Some things take about the same amount of time as before but most things are quicker, and some dramatically so - system preferences for example now takes two seconds to appear whereas before it would take about 15! I reckoned that having a mid-2011 iMac (500GB disk and 12MB RAM) that had had three OS upgrades (I think) and any number of point upgrades to the OS along was probably in a messy state and indeed the fragmentation map seemed to be red everywhere (bad news). The app is about £27 and is cheap speedup in my view. They say on their site ( http://coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag/ ) that it’s no help on an SSD drive. Just thought you may like to know. Cheers, Stephen BBC news November 2006: "China has some of the world's most polluted rivers, and is accused of overlooking the protection of the environment to develop its economy." Appalling. We'd never do anything like that in the West... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
