As the report say

2 GB RAM - Insufficient RAM! Not upgradeable

BANK 0/DIMM0

1 GB DDR3 1067 MHz ok

BANK 1/DIMM0

1 GB DDR3 1067 MHz ok

you don't have enough RAM and it is not upgradable so there is no way to solve your perforce problems with that Mac. To improve performance you will need to upgrade to a new Mac with additional RAM.

It might help a little if you remove all of the adware you have installed.

And while you are at it remove

[loaded] com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist ✔︎ (2017-04-18)

To remove the Adware, click on the [Remove] links while running EtreCheck.

Then run the report again, and look very closely at all the 3rd party additions, and remove everything you absolutely do not need to make a living. You do not have the RAM to have lots of 3rd party additions sitting around on the beach drinking margaritas 🙂

Allan,

Without a backup that will not be possible. It will cause the last of everything.

Please download and install EtreCheck from http://etrecheck.com/

Run it and post the report here. Perhaps we can suggest an alternative.

And Sierra to anything will yield the same results.

Please provide EtreCheck report so that we can analyze your Mac for you.

As an alternative, if you have purchased older versions of OS X from the App Store, you can use How to set up and use an external Mac startup disk - Apple Support to get the purchased version installed on your external disk.

So that's where they went, thanks. 🙂

So the only "red" that shows up:
