Why is my Mac so slow now?
I ran MacJanitor for daily/weekly/monthly tasks (I often shut my mac at night but leave it on once week on), I used Monolingual to get rid of extra languages, and it's still slow.
I checked on Activity Monitor and this is what I have, top 5:
- pmTool - root - %CPU 1.90 t0 2.50
- kernel_task - root - %CPU varies from .40 to 10.00
- java - root - %CPU around .50
- WindowServer - me - %CPU varies from .40 to 10.00
- WacomTablet also showed up %CPU went briefly up to 45.00
note that everything jumps around quite a bit, but pmTool, kernel_task, and WindowServer are on top more often.
At this point, I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what else to do/check, and I'm hoping some of you who are pros can help.
Thanks ahead.
