Running many applications at once isn't necessarily a problem. It only becomes a problem if one or more of those applications uses more RAM than is available or lots of CPU - both of which can be checked by opening /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor, and looking at the little graphs at the bottom of the window. If CPU load is high, for instance, then you can easily look at the CPU tab of the window (sorted by % CPU) to ind out which applications are using the most CPU resources. If memory pressure is high, then you can look at the Memory tab (sorted by Memory) to see which applications are using the most memory resources. If neither is high, then sluggishness is bing caused by something other than that. A malfunctioning startup drive can cause sluggishness even when the CPU and memory are relatively low in usage, regardless of the number of applications that are running. A network issue can cause other types of sluggishness regardless of the number of applications that are running as well. It really depends on what's going on at the time. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
