[Ti] Re: Ti - progressively slowing down

Hi,

You need to either offload data and recover HD space (at least 6 gigs worth)
or you need to transfer your data to a newer, larger HD and put the larger
drive in.  OSX uses hd space for continually swapping virtual memory, and
when your drive is down to such a small amount of space, the cpu has to
search the hd for available sectors ­ a time consuming job.
