Q: Slow MBP after Yosemite install and other concerns

Hi

 

There are a few discussions on this topic, they did not help due to the fact that I have no clue what to do or if I even have a problem.

 

The problem:

My MBP is slower after I installed Yosemite, sometimes the wheel of death pops up and freezes what I am busy with in Safari. Apps take longer to open than usual.

I have added EtreCheck results from this morning.

 

Please give advice on:

How to improve the speed.

Whether there is there something in the results that I should be concerned about.

Hardware that should be updated.

Should I get an app to delete or prevent unnecessary files (from apps?) from being saved without my knowledge.

 

Thanks

 

EtreCheck version: 2.1.6 (109)
