I do that with Linux, where I use the root accounts more frequently. Well, not a red background, but red text instead of the yellow that I use normally. Also, the root prompt is different. -- Where's the Vangelis music? Pris' tongue is sticking out in in the wide shot after Batty has kissed her.

E.g. <http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/12/compressed-memory-in-os-x-109-mavericks-aims-to-free-ram-extend-battery-life> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apple states that its compression techniques "reduces the size of items in memory that haven’t been used recently by more than 50 percent," and states that "Compressed Memory is incredibly fast, compressing or decompressing a page of memory in just a few millionths of a second." Compressed Memory can also take advantage of parallel execution on multiple cores "unlike traditional virtual memory," therefore "achieving lightning-fast performance for both reclaiming unused memory and accessing seldom-used objects in memory." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Anyway, I'm done with you.

If nobody experimented it would be a sad world. 30+ years ago I was doing this sort of thing all the time for benchmarking (hah!) purposes. It's how you learn which tweaks bring gain and which bring pain. Yes, you are normally working in unsupported territory so you have to be aware of that. And keep backups of course. Copious backups and tested recovery procedures too. And did I mention backups and *tested* recovery procedures? :-) -- Paul Sture The final step of #heartbleed recovery is to call your mother, and advise her to change her maiden name -- @gojomo

The thing here is, the risk remains the same even just leaving everything
as Apple themselves have configured the system.
If, by the way, they were better, I'd be the very first to admit it.
