Q: Massive problem with memory usage

Hello ladies and gents!

Just before Christmas I bought my first MacbookPro 13" mid-2012 which is 2.5Ghz and 16gb RAM. Firstly it was just a toy since I've been using Windows for ages because of my work. After a while I've tried to make one or two projects on my mac and noticed it handles them quite nicely. I decided to move my entire workflow to mac and was more than happy with the results. Until last month.

I have no friggin' idea why but my macbook started to work terribly slowly. Nothing unextraordinary happened, there were no new apps or nothing like this. I've tried to manage the kernel_task problem but it helped only for a few days. Even if I kill the photoshop and illustrator processes, mac still uses more than 9GBs of RAM which drives me crazy. My Windows machine is only 12GB of RAM and same specs as my mac and it KICKS OFF it's butt!

What should I do? I love the OS X workflow but my clients won't accept delays any more!

OS X should manage Virtual memory to Physical memory automatically. If processes switch CPU contexts very frequently, paging/swapping can create problems. Typically OS X will keep as much as possible in memory to avoid disk io, but with newer PCIe flash devices, it may not need to.

Have there been version upgrades of any of your software recently?

Flash Player and Java are two worst offenders in my experience.

You do not have a paging problem, as you have been up for almost 4 days, and you ONLY have 70MB of pageouts. That is noise no matter how long the system has been up.

You are running some very RAM intensive processes, 2 Adobe products and Firefox are consuming a huge chunk of the active RAM.

Your running Spotify. Are you having network issues, while streaming music?

Disk drives do not last forever. It is possible (long shot possible) that your disk is doing too many retries when you are accessing it. Since the disk itself will do the retries the software will not know that there is anything wrong, until it gets closer to critical. However, I'm not betting on this, so only look at this if you are finding read/writing large files to disk is a problem.

Is performance slow right after a reboot?

Have you tried a Safe mode boot
<http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564>
This will not load any of your extra drives, such as the ones for your wacom table, but it will tell you if some 3rd party software is causing problems. Also booting into Safe mode cleans out some caches and things.

You are just experimenting with Safe mode, to see if its behavior is different from a normal boot, and using that to decide on where to look next.

And you never know, it might act nicer when you reboot normally after the Safe mode boot (or not; again it is a data point).

Tangent: My Macbook Pro (Late 2011) got a great speed boost when I replaced my spinning hard disk with a SSD. Just saying it can turn an old Mac into a faster machine.

I agree with Bob about everything above. I see nothing unusual in the etrecheck.
One question -how much hard drive free space do you have?
I see one glaring issue. Time machine not configured. I hope you have some other backup system going? Computers are just like any other electro-mechanical device -- they will break!

Guys, first of all, thank you for your replies and apologize for such delay in my answer.

Unfortunately, I'm the type of guy who reads everything and checks everything before asking a question. None of your solutions helped I mean, I'm aware of disk space issue + SSD solution but the problem will still exist. The reason for that is, as my first post tells, everything was fine at the beginning, mac was running fast as crazy. Nothing changed beside the time I've been using it...

I've tried killing the most ram-consuming apps, running just the OS and Safari (because I've been tell that Firefox uses too much RAM), I've tried cleaning the disk so it stays below the 50% of space usage and so on and so on...

The problem not only exists but also goes much beyond the issues I described in first post. Now I have problems with LOADING A PAGE...! I got 120mbit connection and every page loading process has some kind of... hiccup.

Should I just dump my disk and install new?

P.S. I know that in ETRE report my disk is almost full but this is because I've just downloaded 6 of my 16gbs CF Cards. Also I'm aware of Photoshop and Firefox running while ETRE is making its report. Both of these factors does not affect the final problem which lays in kernel_task using MOST of my memory.

NOTE: Mac OS X Mavericks tries very hard to use ALL your RAM for something. Unused RAM is wasted money. If the applications are not using the RAM, Mac OS X will cache disk data in the RAM so that it can avoid an expensive (in time and/or power usage) data fetch from storage. Free RAM rarely exists in Mac OS X, except at boot time.

kernel_task using MOST of my memory

Your kernel task is using about 6% of RAM.

On my Macbook Pro at this very moment, my kernel_task is using 1.23GB of my 16GB (mine is using closer to 8%) And my Firefox is using even more 1.44GB

Your kernel RAM usage is normal for a 16GB system. A lot of that RAM is being used to manage all the page tables for the running processes.

If you look at the bottom graph, you "Memory Pressure" is in the Green and VERY low.

The kernel is not your problem. And RAM does not seem to be your problem.

On this 2nd EtreCheck post you do have some pageout activity. Averaging about 13MB per hour over 6+ days, but that could have just been a time when you were doing some heavy duty graphics processing while running a lot of RAM intensive processes. And considering your first EtreCheck post had almost no pageout activity, I would still say RAM is not your problem.

Now I have problems with LOADING A PAGE...! I got 120mbit connection and every page loading process has some kind of... hiccup

That sounds more like a networking issue (this is an educated guess, but still a guess). A lot of slow page loads can come from slow DNS servers, as we pages generally have lots of DNS names that need to be translated.

You might try using an alternate DNS server

OpenDNS.org
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Google DNS
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> DNS -> [+]

The first DNS server in the list is the most critical because the network will not look at the next server until the first lookup request times out. And if that happens you are already very slow.

Bob, first of, thank You for Your time.

I'm a bit confused after reading your post: how is it possible that 9.21Gb (which kernel_task uses in first screenshot) is 6% to you? As far as I remember from algebra, 9.21/16 gives us 57%...

The second post/screenshot I gave You was only a reference to the fact how much kernel_task is using on a rebooted OS X.

I'll try the solution with DNSes though. But still - everything was loading ultra fast when I bought this mac. Also then, the disk was almost fully used and photoshop + indesign were working 24h/7. There MUST be some issue that we don't see :/

EDIT: I've summed all the processes in second screenshot and they DON'T give us 6Gb of usage - there must be some hidden processes that are taking loads of my memory.

P.S. I'm aware of how Mavericks manage the memory

For your network issues, you can try a speed test and see what you get. Another test is to use an IP address rather than a name and see how it behaves.

Due to the wonders that are the Apple Forums, I cannot see your 1st screen shot. I can only see your most recent Activity Monitor screen shot, and that is using 6%.

You do have one kernel extension installed
[not loaded] com.wacom.kext.pentablet (5.3.3 - SDK 10.8) Support
and it does mention 10.8 SDK, so I would wonder if Wacom does not have a newer driver for their tablet that is maybe current with Mavericks vs Mountain Lion.

3rd party kernel extension have been known to cause problems in the past. Especially if they start using unpublished kernel API's, and the kernel changes how it uses that API.

I'll try the solution with DNSes though. But still - everything was loading ultra fast when I bought this mac. Also then, the disk was almost fully used and photoshop + indesign were working 24h/7. There MUST be some issue that we don't see :/

DNS servers are often provided by your ISP, but then your home router will act as the local DNS server fronting for the ISP's DNS servers. DNS servers have failures, or the ISP may switch which DNS server is being used for your location. And home routers have been known to get confused, and stop being a good frontend for the ISP's DNS servers (restarting the router is generally a short term cure).

120mb conection

Totally off subject, AND should NOT be part of your problem. I'm just curious.
Do you have a tuned home network?
I only ask because a lot of generic home networking equipment (routers, WiFi) will not truly handle 120mb/sec of bandwidth.
Some people have lots of bandwidth because they have lots of equipment that needs to share the bandwidth, but no one system needs all of it.
Others want all that bandwidth for one system. In those cases all the network connections to the pipe need to be capable of carrying the full load.

So I was just wondering.

Again, I DO NOT think network equipment that cannot handle 120mb/sec is in anyway related to your problem. Just curious.

As an additional thought:

The OS needs space in order to perform properly/write to disk; in one of your replies, you said:

I've tried cleaning the disk so it stays below the 50% of space usage and so on and so on...

However, the last EtreCheck notes:

Macintosh HD (disk0s2) / [Startup]: 499.25 GB (912 MB free) (Low!)

If you have less than 1 GB of hard drive space left, no wonder everything slows down to a crawl. You need to have an absolute minimum of 10 - 15 GB for the OS to work properly. This is hard drive space, not RAM memory. If you do a lot of image or video editing, you need a lot more; for video editing/rendering, it is recommended that you have at least as much empty space as your project files sizes. My last one hour HD video project had 150 GB of temporary files, so I made sure I had that much empty space on my hard drive.

Bob and babowa:

As I said before, the disk space is not a problem, nor the internet connection is. I just bought WD My Cloud Mirror (4TB in RAID1). Proof:

Ookla speed test:

Disk space:

The system is working the same as it was when I posted my problem. I'll try to update WACOM driver somehow but unfortunately it's an old Bamboo Pen&Touch which they are not longer supporting

Bob: at the moment I live in a big city so it's been a simple choice to use as fast internet speed as possible. For the same money in my home town I can only have 1/10th of it I have a router but mostly I'm the only person who use the transfer beside two girls watching films time to time.
