Now it smokes
My MacBook Pro was running a bit slow recently. At first I thought I might need more system memory, then I came across this little nugget on the Apple discussion boards. Apparently, duplicate fonts will cause a major slowdown.
The solution? Open up Font Book, delete any of the duplicate fonts (they are the ones with a bullet next to them), and restart. You will see a noticeable difference immediately.
Incidentally, I was on the Apple discussion board because I think one of my system fans has stopped running. I think my notebook is going to make a trip to the Apple store after finals.
