How can I speed up my MBP?
Like many others, my MBP has slowed considerably since installing Mavericks. Before the install, it was a screaming machine, meaning, it was fast. I run Clean My Mac and MacKeeper regularly, but nothing is helping. I've emptied my cache in Chrome (the only browswer I use). Still nothing. I found a post here about running a program called EtreCheck, which I've done. Below are the results. Can anyone tell me if there are things listed that need to be fixed/deleted/updated/etc.? I would so appreciate it.
