Spinning beachball

4GB RAM is not your friend here.

You might try a memory cleaner app like Memory Clean2…

https://fiplab.com

Free, and worth a try, but it'll only mask the symptoms. 12GB on an older MacPro here, and the demands of the system and current software were constantly dragging it down. While Memory Clean helped, OWC came to the rescue with 48GB of RAM. No more memory problems for now, but it's clear that's where part of the slowdown was coming from. Even now, the system and running apps are taking almost 20GB. 12GB was just spinning its wheels - and the colorful one as well. Lots of page outs before. None now.
