you have ram available. that's not problem. long memory pressure shows green, have sufficient ram. @ cpu usage instead. see have 1 process not responding. haven't verified following, found in google search:

com.apple.geod process not responding

this seems have worked me (i not use apple maps, running yosemite/up-to-date) -

• force quit (activity monitor): com.appl.geod
• quit (activity monitor): mapspushd
• delete:
  • /drive/users/user/library/preferences/com.apple.geo.plist
  • /drive/users/user/library/caches/maps/*.*(anything there)
  • "geobookmarks.plist" (sorry - can't remember within user folder/library files, , don't want put back....do search within user library folder find it)
  • "geohistory.mapsdata" (similar geobookmarks.plist (it in same folder that))
• also, have been working on "permanently stopping com.apple.geod 'hanging'" month now, , may have tried deleting more obvious plist files earlier in process
• the suggestion review/restart/delete , let system re-create apple maps-created files seems have been best course, generally, me.
