[QUOTE="chscag, post: 826054, member: 46727"] You might find it helpful to run your "Activity Monitor.app" while using the machine. That should give you some idea if there is an ongoing process which is causing the slowdown. And - from System Preferences, go to Accounts. Highlight your account name (the one you're currently logged on as) and then select "Login Items" from the tab. Take a look at what's listed to see if any of your current startup items can be removed from that list. Sometimes we forget how many applications or small processes are starting up when we log on. An accumulation of them can slow down the machine. Something else which can cause slowdowns is the lack of hard drive space. When there is around 20% or less space remaining on the drive, everything begins to slowdown. Regards. [/QUOTE]
