[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 924801, member: 24098"] I had a similar intermittent issue and found that it was related to incompatible third-party daemons running in the background. I was able to nail this down just by seeing the repeat instances of starting and stopping of the daemon in the Console log (Applications => Utilities => Console). Once I removed it (Paragon Snapshot Beta), performance was great for a little while. Shortly after that, I noticed that Paragon updated another one of their products that I use - Paragon NTFS for Mac, claiming that it was now Snow Leopard compatible. I installed it and it seemed to work fine initially. But I started encountering numerous spinning wheels, particularly when using Firefox and iPhoto, but also using other miscellaneous applications. I found that after removing Paragon NTFS, everything was great again. The moral of this story, even if you did a clean install, as I did - it's entirely possible that the migration assistant can pull over incompatible software that runs transparently in the background and can cause major issues. Take a look at Console and see if anything stands out as being weird. Also, use a program like [URL="http://metaquark.de/appfresh/"]AppFresh[/URL] to ensure that all of your apps are up to date.
