[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 395039, member: 21101"] OK, a couple of weeks back I posted about boot-up performance on my MacBook becoming worse and worse, with firefox taking 40 bounces to launch around a minute after boot up. I decided to format and re-install (Windows style). Obviously, there has been a huge performance increase immediately after the new install. Everything worked fine from the backup (although Parallels insisted on creating a new virtual machine, despite there being one in the library from backup) firefox launched in 4 bounes, Safari in 2 and a Parallels Windows session restores in about 5 seconds from cold (previously it was more than a minute). I've pretty much reinstalled everything I had before apart from a few freeware demos I had previously. I think the reason it was a bit broken before was because when I 1st got my Mac, I installed almost every app possible, just to 'try' it and then ended up deleting them, which I guess left a lot of rubbish around on the HDD.
