I recovered speed when it died and I moved to a more recent machine with 16Gb and a SSD. So I would cautiously upgrade to Mavericks or Yosemite and stop there if enough in your case.<br class=""><div><div><br class=""></div><div>LP</div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class=""><br class="">On Nov 14, 2017, at 03:39, iEFdev wrote:<br class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">Lion is old.

I stopped at Lion and didn't think ML brought much more to it, but it seems to be the bottom low version today. On my way to migrate my Mac Pro -> mini and the run it off-line. Perhaps I should do a clean install of ML then.<br class=""></blockquote><br class="">Mountain Lion is not much better, from our perspective, because Mountain Lion and earlier use libstdc++, which doesn't support C++11, which many ports are requiring. Mavericks and later use libc++ which supports C++11. If your Mac can upgrade to Mountain Lion, it can upgrade to at least El Capitan, possibly even High Sierra. I'd recommend you upgrade to the newest version you can.<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""><div class="">
