Optimizing OSX
Hi forum,
I'm administrating a workstation/server for my lab and I was wondering how to optimize OSX. I was wondering what unnecessary background tasks I could kick off the system so I free up as much memory and cpu power.
Other optimization tips are also welcome (HD parameters, memory settings etc etc..)
I googled around but tips are far and few between... so any help is welcome.
Cheers,
Koen
