    I’m not forgetting that, but it won’t just clear that ram it will want to put it into swap, and depending on your storage speed that can slow tasks down. Making it quite stuttery.

      I mean, a (good) SSD is worth quite a lot, even on very old systems. I have an old 2008 MacBook laying around. It’s certainly not fast but with an SSD it’s totally useable, even on current macOS versions.

        Oh for sure, I remember buying my first SSD and booting windows in under 10 seconds and being like whaaaat.

        I am starting to think maybe I am a ram hog.
