I have 3gb of ram and my computer slows down because of this inactive ram component of mac osx which was never a problem in TIGER... so what is up with leopard slowing down my processor, because all my applications will slow down/????

Inactive ram is just that, it is ram that has been used by progrm that has recently been used and then closed. It leaves the data in the ram stil in case you open the program again therefore cutting down on loading time. However if another program wants/needs to use that space the os will allocate however much is needed from the inactive space.

As such the inactive memory doesnt slow your system down but quite the opposite.
