[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1633037"] You can't be running both OS X 10.6.8 and 10.7.5 at the same time. You're running 10.7.5. Even easier way to find the free space: open any Finder window and look at the bottom of it. Broadly speaking, computers that used to be very fast and are now kinda slow comes down to (usually) one of three causes: 1. The disk is getting full. 2. The disk is starting to fail. 3. The user is doing more sophisticated stuff that pushes the limits of the machine/the user is doing stuff that uses much more RAM than they used to, and doesn't have enough for the newer software/requirements.
