Could you explain in the form of an analogy? Also, has this improved over time? Does it have anything to do with registry and defrag? Is it different for Mac vs PC? Thank you 🙂

One of your best friends in preventing this is to use the task manager to study what resources are being used. First, disable every application you don’t need from the start file. You don’t need to pre-load your document suite every time you start the computer. You can also run through your services that are starting automatically and change them to open manually. For example, you don’t need a service to read a fingerprint or a credit card when you are just looking at Reddit. But the closest thing to the answer you want is that many programs continue to grow in resources they consume over time. Firefox and other browsers are notorious for this. Firefox might start using 100mb of memory and after some time it’s using almost 1gb. You get a fresh start when you reboot. I run computers 24/7 and maintain full speed by tweaking the resource drains to plug the holes. Your computer does not have to slow down.
