Major Memory Loss after Yosemite 10.10.2

Greetings, all.

I've had Yosemite installed since the first day it was released, and have diligently (now regretfully) applied every update since. The only trouble I had to date was a very infrequent and intermittent WiFi disconnection. Up until last week, and according to Memory Clean, I consistently saw 11.5-12 GB of free memory with no apps running. Even when running VMWare (4 GB allocated) plus 6-8 others apps simultaneously, I would still see 3-4 GB of available memory. Performance has always been solid. However, since installing the latest Yosemite update just last week, I now see 8 GB of free memory with nothing running, and 1.5 GB of memory available when running VMWare (2 GB now allocated) and only 2 apps running (Chrome, Messages). Additionally, this usually drops into MB with fans running and sluggish performance.

What's happened?!? Really appreciate any expertise and guidance as this has significantly degraded performance on my MacBook (specs and report below).

Perhaps there's another thread I've missed. Do share if that's the case.

I followed steps in this article to no avail.

Guide: How to solve Yosemite memory leaks and CPU usage

I downloaded EtreCheck per this thread, but not certain if there is something standing out as the culprit.

Yosemite made my MacBook Pro so slow. Need help.
