MacBook Pro SLOW: Probably RAM memory AND Space Memory taken by purgeable files? Here's my Etrecheck report
Hi!
From what I've read in thèse fora, it'd seem I"ve issues with purgeable files! SUPER-Slow, crashes, etc. EVEN when I don't overload it with activities. And both the RAM memory and the space memory are at their very limit.
Here's the data on my Mac, and, below, the Etrecheck Report! Any help would be greately appreciated.
Here's my machine. M
