I searched everywhere and all I could find is "the OSX memory management is much smarter than you,it know what's right for you and always do the smart thing". Just look at the above picture and tell me why it's using the HD instead of the damn 1GB inactive RAM I have. This is all due to the fantastic memory management not releasing the RAM. While on Windows I could keep open Over 40 Tabs in a browser before plus Photoshop plus Illustrator plus Vmware,now I can barely use 20 tabs in a browser plus photoshop with the same amount of RAM.I can use all the above program only if I reboot,then they work fine for a while,but after some day of use it start swapping like crazy and I can only use half of them at the same time. Let me say that my working routine has in fact changed since Windows,in worse! I tried every possible solution and I hoped snow leopard solved this,but it didn't change anything.This is my situation now,I just rebooted 2 days ago: I can't work one day on it without it becoming a turtle at the end of the day due to the heavy swap it does on the slow HD. Well let me say that Os X multi tasking really suck bad! I'm a really heavy user that do many tasks from graphics to development and I handle many many programs at once. Well,yeah,at first use I was amazed by my Mac and I really believed the above.This was until I really started working on it! ![]() I'm a new MacBook user since some months,I bought one Unibody 17'' believing what everyone said about Macs being reliable,fast,totally superior to Windows PC.
