  • Snow Leopard was a huge update for my MacBook, fixed a load of issues, and was screaming fast. This isn’t my faulty memory. That’s how I experienced it at the time. Just because Snow Leopard didn’t fix every single bug ever, and needed bug fixes itself, doesn’t mean it wasn’t a bugfix release because it fixed a lot. And those bugfixes that came after Snow Leopard’s release weren’t necessarily fixes for bugs that were introduced with Snow Leopard, they were just fixed in a Snow Leopard update.




  • Professional apps like logic Pro are native apps. Many people use Electron shite like Spotify and Slack in addition to their web browser. These apps will happily use 2GB RAM each just to perform basic tasks. Open a few Google Docs tabs and your browser will be eating 8GB for itself easily. Now you’re swapping like crazy. A small amount of swap activity won’t be noticable, but if you’re exceeding your available memory by multiple gigabytes the machine will start to slow down.
