Q: OSX El Capitan slowing down
My desktop Mac seems to be slowing down.
I also see much beachballing when switching apps.
Even switching tabs in Safari lags.
Here's my EtreCheck report.
The reported lack of RAM is new to me, I had not seen that before.
I would like some help to get my Mac back up to speed.
