Hi,

My Mac is so slow these weeks. Got a new one..

Just wondering if its possible to turn off all - or almost all Cache-usage of memory in Mac OS?

Normal RAM is much faster, so I really would like to have this configured

Don’t understand the question. Are your referring to memory swap? If so, no, you don’t want to “turn off” swap. Let macOS do its job and manage system memory usage. Your “slow” Mac is due to something else. Might be able to help with a lot more details about the applications used and workloads. What are you doing? Model of Mac? Version of OS? Etc.
