[QUOTE="rsrocha, post: 761958, member: 71956"] When you plug your mac to the wall do you keep the battery installed? Did you know that if you plug your mac to the charger but with the battery out the processor speed is reduced by half. This can affect boot times... Yes, keep your desktop clean and tidy as well as your documents folder. Ojne thing i noticed is that the system becomes "slower" on boot when you have your drive partitioned. If you keep only one partition on the entire drive the system runs and boots much faster. As well, the stock factory install never gave me much confidence. When i get a new mac i always format the drive and make a new install. [/QUOTE]
