Q: EtreCheck results - slow 2012 Mini 10.11.3
Aside from the RAM being a little low I'm not sure what the problem could be. The actual memory usage is usually low on this machine and it was working fine for a while after upgrading to El Capitan, so I'd like to explore other possible solutions first.
EtreCheck version: 2.9.9 (260)
