slow

Ever since I updated to 10.11.6 (I believe that is the current version), websites that used to run smoothly end up freezing and I have to close the tab or if I can't, manually kill the process in Activity Monitor. Needless to say, ever since I updated to Yosemite, I noticed my machine takes 5-10...

I like to keep my files organized by tags, because a given file has so many categories that organizing by folders isn't really adequate. So I have lots of tags. And, now that I have so many, adding a brand new one stalls Finder for literally minutes while the "beach ball" revolves -- I haven't...
