[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1539734"] This is Windows thinking. You have not downloaded anything to make your Mac more sluggish. That's Windows. Almost every single time someone has told me their Mac feels more sluggish, it turned out to ACTUALLY be one of the following causes: 1. Running out of HD space (this is not the problem in your case) 2. Lack of maintenance (you've taken care of this now) 3. Leaving tons of programs open because you're not properly quitting them (UNBELIEVABLY COMMON) 4. Tons of crap all over the desktop (again COMMON) 5. Downloaded a "anti-virus" or "torrenting" or some other dodgy program that's tying up your resources. [/QUOTE]
