Is it necessary to format/reinstall OSX occasionally?


i've got late 2011 mbp.

had osx lion on , upgraded via mac app store mountain lion, mavericks , yosemite , when released each year.

i'm aware windows, slows down on time , it's practice format windows based systems , reinstall o/s ever year or if possible. makes quite difference in terms of performance.

macs benefit improved performance after format/reinstall?

mac doesn't run too slow - i'd it's bit sluggish after first booting might because has 4gb ram.

remember when first got in 2011 fast , programs opened immediately.

since i've had mac hasn't had software installed - programs numbers, pages , 1 or 2 others. else stock installed.

i've got 6gb iphoto database pretty slow open.
 

short answer - no. it's placebo.

if want increase performance on yosemite, install ssd. makes huge difference.
