[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1169697, member: 56379"] Sometimes when you restart a Macintosh running OS X...the OS starts doing some "self-maintenance" when you restart. You can verify this by listening to your computer after you restart it...since you can hear the hard drive doing a lot of reading & writing. As far as this slowness. If you've been: - using your computer for a LONG time without restarting (days & days or weeks & weeks without a restart) - all that opening & closing of various programs - all of the internet surfing & e-mailing - and everything else you may be doing ...the way I explain it is...the computer starts to get "confused"...and a restart sort of resets or cleans everything up.
