Experience disabling swap in Mac OS?

Question

macOS

Who has disabled swap files in Mac OS - do you feel a speed increase?
And why, I can’t understand, is there so little of these 8 gigabytes of RAM for the MacBook Pro 2013 late 8gb? it is worth running a safari and already 7 is taken!
Thank you!

Answer 1

Hello, to enable swap with 8Gb RAM - you need to take about 10-12Gb, OSX squeezes memory, and then turns on swap. In general, I personally didn’t even have enough 16Gb - and when the RAM is full, a terrible thing happens - the mouse and keyboard stick and you have to hard reboot. In addition, with our gigabit SSDs, which are connected via PCIE, the swap will not reduce the speed at all.
ps also MBP 2013, problems with gluttony and CPU load were solved by making Flash in Firefox on demand, now out of 20 tabs only on YouTube flash is enabled, and in others ads are not displayed annoying, flash carries a huge load.
You can type sudo purge in the console or write it in the crontab

Don't look how busy it is. The system simply immediately takes out everything in the RAM and scores the maximum, so that later it will speed up the loading of this software. Put 64 oz - it takes 64. No problem. This is not the reason for the brakes, this is a feature.

And how to increase the parameter that says at what% of RAM occupancy to start swapping processes? It's just that at 2.8 out of 4, the swap is already starting.
