2011 MBA Ultimate issue

[d.rad]

Hello all, long time reader first time poster.
Purchased a new MBA ultimate in March - since then I've noticed with increased frequency that upon waking it up from sleep the cursor is frozen for around 5 seconds, I occasionally get beachballs upon waking it up, and occassionally get beachballs when starting safari and attempting to enter a url. Any ideas? I don't do anything outside of browsing and watching the occasional video on VLC - I don't download anything on it either. The only action the harddrive has seen is mac updates, and microsoft word.

Just realized I said 2011 MBA, meant 2010🙄 purchased in 2011**

Unsure but try these steps.

Copy and paste these commands into console under admin.

sudo chown root:admin /
sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel
sudo kextcache -system-caches

Then restart, and if that doesn't work do a safe boot, log in, then restart.


LMK!

My suggestion would be restart the machine every few days. I notice my MBA slows down after not restarting 3-4 days later. The reboot really helps.
