This has been happening a lot recently:
mr_mbp_ram_swap_pre.png

mr_mbp_ram_swap_post.png


Basically I'll be using the computer like in the first image for a while; I would either close the program or try to and then all of a sudden, it would dump all the contents in RAM into swap, computer would slow to a crawl and eventually crash.

This is happened recently a lot with Photoshop… it's get annoying when you have to readjust the image because Photoshop doesn't autosave.

Anyways, do y'all think I just need more RAM or there another underlying issue that is causing the computer to dump RAM into swap?
