[QUOTE="haybarn564, post: 1634984, member: 198122"] I am running a late 2009, 13-inch Macbook with a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. I am running Yosemite OS X 10.10.1 with 4GB of Memory. I have a 250 GB hard drive, with 36.88 GB free. Over the past few months, I've noticed that my computer lags really badly with just about everything. Opening up applications takes forever, and then once they are open, they freeze up constantly. For example, opening safari windows often leads to freezing (spinning beach ball) and slow loading pages. But it's not just Safari...it happens with mail, iTunes, etc. I've run the basic Onyx Maintenance tasks every so often, but it doesn't seem to make much of a difference in performance. I tried doing a clean install of Yosemite and only put my essential apps and files back on to computer. Unfortunately, no improvements. Any tips on what I can do to speed things up and reduce the lag and constant freezing? I can provide any additional information that would help. Thanks! OS X Mavericks (10.9.4) [/QUOTE]
