[QUOTE="GLJones, post: 32468, member: 3220"] I am having the same problem. Runs fine when first booted but left overnight, it gets so sluggish, a Control-Click menu can take 60 seconds to appear. 3 minutes to eject a CD. I traced it back to the screensaver. I upgraded to 10.3.3 and I think my Seti@Home go messed up. After it would run as a screensaver, I would find it running in the background. Force Quitting wouldn't take it out for long as it would reappear in a minute or two. I removed it completely from the system, including preferences and any reference to it in the Users system panel. Still, when any screensaver runs, the system gets sluggish. The longer the screensave is allowed to run, the more sluggish, until I reboot. I have lookd just about everywhere I can think of to fix this. Disabling the screensave seems to work but it still gets sluggish overnight when the monitor is shut down (Energy Saver). Any ideas? I am close to reinstalling the OS. [/QUOTE]
