[QUOTE="Logan, post: 249029"] when you notice stuff going to a blazing crawl (as usual from how you post) go to Spotlight real quick (as quick as possible), type in Terminal, and when terminal pops up type in top. top shows all your processes, select the entire terminal screen text and copy/paste it to this forum.. Perhaps we can see if you have an app eating your memory more than usual. Also when you first boot up is it running slow? or is it all the time? You could be overheating, or you could be running out of HDD space, or you could be running out of physical ram and resorting to virtual memory, or the hard drive for one reason or another is damaged (Disk Utility repair), I'm not an expert at macs but this is what I'd gather as potential topics.
