For those who are using old Mac machine, you may want to disable or switch the 3D Dock to 2D to gain some speed enhancement. For those who are using latest machine, you might ask, does that really helps in speed? The answer is Yes! I’ve been using a very old Mac for the past 4 years. Disable all the eye candy features really help in speeding up your Mac machine especially those Mac with slow processor.
