I have MBP that is 5 years old with lots of partitions, apps, etc..
Lion install has produced really weak performance and several people have told me "clean install" the LION in order eliminate possible source of problems being "messy" drive, etc.
So I really need to know how to do clean install of Lion over Lion...
Concerned that I can't (or shouldn't) restore to clean install from the clone backup of the current lion installation. don't know if I should downgrade back to Snow Leopard and then clone that and do clean Lion install?
Not sure how to proceed at all and have searched for "Lion over Lion" feedback everywhere and just can't get reliable info or process.
THANKS in advance! I'm obviously only journeyman skill level so lay-level explanations are much appreciated.
