Did the El Capitan upgrade on a couple of boxes earlier in the week.

Aside from the upgrade routine being somewhat different and lengthy and having to rebuild Mail twice I have to say I'm pleased.

Most notable improvement is how it handles memory.

It uses 40-50% less ram that Yosemite did / does.

On my 16gb MacBook Pro I was regularly running with 1gb or less of free ram, so far with Capitan the worst I've seen is 5gb free under the same usage.

Typically I'm at 7gb free.
