Hi Alex, The amount of Virtual memory sounds to be about normal. The CPU usage is very high though for that. I’m guessing that the Mini just doesn’t have the processing power and coupled with only 4 GB of RAM, you may have found the culprit. If you have an external drive that you could install Mavericks onto, and not bother with the SoundFlower stuff, it would be your best method of testing things. There could be a small lag due to the use of an external drive as your Startup drive, but you’d be able to look at the Activity Monitor as well as note the state of your VO speech.

Any ideas on how I might get it back to normal?
