I've been a passionate evangelist for Apple and the Macintosh throughout my working life, my first love was a Quadra 605 working with a small creative agency in the south of Norfolk UK in the mid 1990's, I later progressed to other roles in other Macintosh dominated industries, first as a Senior graphic designer at a small printing company and then a production manager at Guardian Media Group. Disabling virtual memory is only something you should do if you have a specific purpose in mind, nothing else. Upgrading the RAM itself is the most obvious one, and you can also run fewer programs at once and create more space on your hard drive. Instead, there are some much easier solutions to improving memory performance. I’ll stress again that this is risky stuff, so if you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t try it. Sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/_ist If you’ve only gone as far as step two and want to reactivate the swap file, type this then close the Terminal: If you want to completely delete the files (really don’t recommend it, as you will never be able to modify virtual memory again), then type this command: Sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/_istģ.

We hold no responsibility if you mess up your Mac as a result of following this.ġ. Here’s how, but it’s not exactly the easiest thing to do and you risk messing up your computer.
OS X VM SWAPFILE HOW TO
If you can’t be bothered to read the article, shame on you, but to sum it up, while virtual memory can be a very useful to push your RAM to it’s limits, it can also slow down your computer significantly, and many want to know how to disable it. We recently wrote an article telling you all about what exactly virtual memory was in the context of OS X, what it does, and how you can check how much of it you’re using (using the Activity Monitor, as pictured below).
