[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1288913"] 1. Why aren't you making backups? You are guaranteed to lose data at some point if you don't back up your data to an external hard drive or some other media. 2. Lion is not making your iMac slow and choppy. What you really ought to do is clone your current install to an external hard drive (for backup if nothing else), boot from the clone and ERASE the original boot drive, then clone everything back. That will almost certainly solve the issue. If by chance it's still not performing right, I'd suggest re-installing Lion. If you really want to go back to Snow Leopard, yes you can boot from your disk and (maybe) do this, but I strongly caution you that without a backup your risk of losing data becomes very high. There's no way I would attempt such a thing without a backup (of course, there's no way I would have upgraded in the first place without a backup either). [/QUOTE]
