[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1128006, member: 46727"] No. The optical drive will only have an effect on speed when it's actually being used, such as installing the operating system. But if you're noticing slow downs of other tasks as well, mentioned above, that would not be caused by a bad optical drive. Those slow downs may in fact be normal. Your system may need to undergo some house cleaning. For that I suggest running the free [URL="http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11582/onyx"]OnyX[/URL] program. [/QUOTE]
