Macpro 10.10 lag

I have a MacBook Pro 2010, 2.53 Ghz i5, 4GB memory 1067MHz DDR3, running on OS X Yosemite.

I use to use this computer for school work and computer game, as recently(pretty much as soon as i upgraded to 10.9.5), my computer has been lagging a lot when I play games (DoTa for example), and those game worked perfectly fine before. I don't really know much about computer but I really wish to have this problem solved.


Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

I downloaded this app, and originally it says i used up to 3.2 GB memory without any program running and i only have about 200 MB left, but i kept on cleaning mutiple times (about 8 time) and now it has 2.44 GB avaliable. This is good, but also odd for me since I don't understand how can I be using 3.2 GB without any program running, and how can it clean up that much memory. Is the any setting problems that i should be aware of? Thanks

UPDATE. I tried running the game with "Memory Clean" running. And when i open the game I have about 1.2 GB avaliable; but as game process, the memory left became less and less eventually hit about 20 MB left (starts to lag a lot when less 300 MB was avaliable), it was mostly File Cache and App Memory; then I used "Memory Clean" and the memory left would raise back to about 900MB but it still lags a lot. Any thoughts or solutions? 😟



Thanks
