[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 1028530, member: 26315"] Shutting down your computer every day or just letting it sleep is a hotly depated topic. And what I have got from that debat is both options are just fine if you otherwise look after your Mac. And only having 10GB left of space might be your issue. As OS X tends to run slower when it does not have enough free space for virtual memory. I think 20GB should do you fine. And also have a look ay Onyx. [url=http://www.titanium.free.fr/index_us.html]Titanium Software[/url] That is a very nice Mac mantainance application and might help you out. And yes reformating your hard drive after a full erase (with one pass of zeros would be nice) would fix all of your issues. But the downside is you have an erased hard drive then. So just back everything up and then you can erase and re-install OS X and only copy what you want back from the backup, thus fixing the issue :). [/QUOTE]
