Just curious. How is running the firewall going to speed things up? That one doesn't make sense to me. It's early, so maybe i'm missing something simple.

Install an SSD. Light and day difference with a standard HDD.

It won't speed things up or slow things down, but it's recommended for security. Items 16-18 are for security.

Just been looking at some SSD's and the prices are crazy,were 512gb ones which would be more than i need and they were £500+!!

I have a 64 GB one and use an internal HDD for music, movies etc. Dual booting iMacs are the best of both World's without having to spend a fortune on a large capacity SSD.

All other files are stored on the Internal SSD.

If you don't fancy dual booting, you can always sling an external HDD off the back.
