Set the working directory to the path of the current solution.What you need to look for is if your load averages are constantly pushing 100%, because that suggests that you need a more powerful machine for the type of work you’re doing.By default, when the Terminal is launched it will: Obviously, CPU load averages will go up and down when you jump from task to task, depending on how resource demanding it is. If your computer has 6 CPU cores, then a load average of 6.0 would mean your CPUs are being utilized 100% - you get the point. Had my load average been 4.0, it would indicate that my CPUs are being utilized 100%. My Mac computer’s CPU has 4 cores, so a load average of around 2.0 means that I’ve only been using around 50% of my total CPU for the last 15 minutes. The 3 load averages values refer to how much of your total CPU has been used the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes (counting from left to right).
