(I hope that "memory swapping" is the correct term.)

Model:	Late 2013 Macbook Pro
OS:	OS X 10.13.6 High Sierra
HD:	1 TB, 954.34 GB used, 44.27 GB available
CPU:	2.6 GHz Intel
Mem:	16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

As you see, my HD is very full.

As it fills up, I have seen a big dropoff in function -- programs load 
much more slowly, can only have a few programs open at the same time, 
windows don't open at full size, etc.

I assume this is because of not enough swap space on the HD.

What is the recommended amount of HD space to keep free for good 
performance?

Thanks!
