I've had my MacBook 13" since September of last year, and I've had a few minor performance issues but nothing I couldn't plow past without worrying about. Recently, however, I've suffered EXTREME slowdown and application freezing. It takes upwards of 5 minutes for the machine to turn on, and some applications simply will not start. I can't install any cache-cleaning or system optimisation tools because the dmg mounting program won't start when I open a dmg. When I try to open a movie in QuickTime (movies of size 400MB+ [fraps videos from a game]) it takes a few minutes until the movie actually opens.
I have Windows bootcamped onto the machine too, and that is rapid as anything - absolutely no problems - so I don't think it's a hardware problem.
Any ideas? Feel free to throw any suggestions at me no matter how technical; I'm a technical sort of guy **flexes his geek muscle**.
