How does the Mac run slower?

How does the Mac run faster and slower? At ordinary times everyone is talking about PC slow, in fact, for MAC computer, also will appear slow time. The reason that the computer slows down, most of the times because of the performance of the hardware, of course, sometimes because of software problems. The following small part describes the reasons for the slow speed of the Mac and the solution, hoping to help you.

Hardware aspects:

1, for some of the early purchase of Mac computers, hardware performance is less than the current Mac computer, so in the present run, especially after upgrading the latest system, will be more slow.

2, memory capacity is too small: the size of memory is related to the overall speed of the computer running, when the application software opened at the same time, memory will not be enough, resulting in slow computer operation. If you have some early MAC computers, consider adding memory to solve slow-running problems.

3. Hard drive Speed: Similarly, for older Mac computers, the traditional mechanical hard drive is a lot slower than the SSD (solid-state drive) configured on the current Mac. The drive speed will be reflected in the boot, shutdown, and open applications. If you can, consider adding an SSD hard drive to solve.

4, if you can solve the problem of memory and hard disk, the speed of the MAC computer will certainly have a great increase.

Software aspects:

1, above said some by upgrading hardware to solve the slow speed of the Mac method, of course, we can also from the current system up and down, although the effect may not be so obvious, but still can be improved in speed. Each generation of system updates will have some changes in the interface, while also increasing the consumption of hardware performance.

2, in Mac OS, when the application window is minimized or restored, the animation effect will be displayed, in general, the system default is the "magic" effect. If your current computer hardware is performing poorly and running slowly, consider changing the effect to the zoom effect in the Dock settings.

3, in addition, some friends for a moment of convenience, like to put all kinds of files on the desktop, so that the entire desktop is covered by files or directories. The picture below is a screenshot of my Mac desktop, in fact, the desktop file is not much, that is, meaning. There are many files placed on the desktop, which will cause the speed of the system to slow down, also affect the speed of operation. If you have a lot of files on your desktop, it is recommended that they be cleaned up and sorted into other directories.

4. The latest OS X Yosemite system on your Mac, like the IOS system, also features a flat design style and adds transparency. Since it is a new display effect, will inevitably occupy the performance of the hardware resources, which is like everyone in the usual play, special effects open more, the computer instantly changed turtle speed. For the system is the same, if you are currently upgrading the Yosemite system, and feel that the computer is not running as fast as before, you can consider turning off the transparency of the system. In the System Preferences-accessibility-display, you can turn off the transparency effect here and select the "Reduce transparency" option.
