Given that this is my main work machine, I will have to probably reinstall it soon if I cannot find a solution, and I can only hope that reinstalling it will actually fix the problem. This resets the amount of memory that it uses to about 60mb, but within minutes, it will be taking up more than a gigabyte again.īecause of the high memory usage, CPU usage and swapping, this regularly makes my computer entirely unusable. The number of threads in use ranges between 5 and 12.Įven though I have 12gb of RAM, I regularly start running into the swap file, and I have to kill the Dock process. The process with the highest CPU usage will take the top spot. That means the arrow should be pointing down. Ensure CPU is selected in the control bar and set to descending order. The process will begin to thrash the hard drive at the maximum speed that it can (according to iotop), and it will regularly use more than 100% of CPU, which I guess means that it's using more than one core at the moment. To identify the cause of high CPU usage, follow these steps: Launch Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor. I have a very annoying problem with the Dock process - after more than a few hours of uptime, the memory usage will spike to more RAM than I have.
