Followed your recommendations and got rid of Google Chrome as I no longer need it. I have also installed OnyX and used it to clean some things up. My run time has dropped to 4:15 which is good. I have noticed a slight performance improvement. Considering installing 16GB's of RAM to see what happens.


Thoughts on backing everything up and reinstalling a clean OS?
