[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1603488, member: 56379"] As I expected. The slowdown has nothing to do with the upgrade to Mavericks (although lots of folks LOVE to blame it on a Mavericks upgrade)!;) The problem is your hard drive is too full. Only 7gig free out of 500gig is 98+% full. For best performance…we generally recommend not letting the hard drive get more than about 80% full. If you were to let your HD get 100% full…your computer will "lock-up" and you won't be able to do anything. You need to free up some space! - Nick [/QUOTE]
