> How can I speed it up?

One thing you can do is to upgrade its RAM.

Your iMac supports up to 32 GB RAM, according to this source:

> I really appreciate you taking the time to help me

Glad to help. Ive ended up learning a good amount about how computers work in an attempt to deal with problems that are laughably too big for my system, and its always nice to put some of that info to practical use.

> It looks like its 2GB per slot

This is a bit less ideal, just cause youd have to buy 2x 4gb sticks instead of 1. Id see if you can actually get to the ram and then make sure it isnt soldered (id guess it isnt, i think it is mainly apple that soldered the memory in, but idk for sure). A lot of times there is a emovable panel on the bottom of the laptop that lets you easily get to the ram. If not, it might be a bit more effort and require some disassembly and reassembly of the laptop.

> I dont know, what would you recommend?

So, from a quick seach on the internet, it seems you can get a compatable 2x4gb kit for $60, thought it might be worth checking out the used market since you might be able to get a matching pair of used 4gb sticks for almost nothing.

If you are planning on getting a new computer soon regardless and will never use the old one again, it probably isnt worth $60 (but $10-20 if you can find them used would probably be worthwhile).

> is 8gb enough

Id ask your friend what memory usage he saw when running the code. 8gb seems like enough IF what you posted is the code's peak memory usage. It is entirely possible though that running for 30 minutes didnt even get you past the initial setup stage (running on swap is really slow even on much newer systems), and that you didnt get to the part with more significant memory requirements.

Personally id have gotten a new system long ago, but i also work on problems that dealing with them in their full form (not a cut down version) basically requires a small supercomputer, so im not necessairly the best person to ask.

> I feel like I'd lean towards an i5 with 8GB,

Id tend to suggest 16gb otherwise youll just run into this same issue again.

its worth going on /r/buildapc if you have any desire to build a system (you tend to get much more for your money this way than buying prebuilt). IDK what kind of budget you have, but if it were me, id probably go with something like this. Theres a couple places you could scale back the cost, but those all come at a cost.

Note: this doesnt include the OS or peripherals like a monitor. If you need these then itll be a bit more than this, but you can often find good deals on windows 10 and get a decent 1080p monitor for not much more than $100 (maybe much less if you can snag something used).
