[QUOTE="McBie, post: 1622445, member: 54417"] With all due respect and the great suggestions, I always fail to understand why everybody immediately jumps to the " solution space " without understanding the " problem space " There must be a reason as to why that machine suddenly becomes " slow " ( whatever that means ) Is it slow in booting ? How many apps do you have open ? ( or tabs in a browser ) If you open Activity monitor, ( with and without apps loaded ) is there any process that is using a lot of CPU. Without accessing the internet, is there any high network usage ? If you turn off WiFi , is your machine still " slow " when running apps ? Any " error " messages in the log files ( console.app ) ? It may be as simple as a run-away process that is eating all your CPU cycles. Again, all suggestions above are very valid, but before opening my wallet, I would at least try and understand what is happening on my machine. Just my humble 2 euro cents. Cheers ... McBie [/QUOTE]
