You don't need to contact Apple executives about a technical issue. You simply need to troubleshoot and diagnose what the problem is. Apple execs can't help with that.
If you're having performance issues, this may help:
Follow every step of the following instructions precisely. Do not skip any steps.
- Launch Activity Monitor
- Change "My Processes" at the top to "All Processes"
- Click on the "% CPU" column heading once or twice, so the arrow points downward (highest values on top).
(If that column isn't visible, right-click on the column headings and check it, NOT "CPU Time") - Click on the System Memory tab at the bottom.
- Take a screen shot of the entire Activity Monitor window, then scroll down to see the rest of the list, take another screen shot
- Post your screenshots.
