There are some common reasons why your Mac can run slower than it does normally. I will list a few top ones here and also point you to a couple webpages that give a more comprehensive list of potential things that cause your Mac to run slower.
- Cluttered Desktop
Having too many files and folders on your desktop can slowdown your machine. Put the free floating files into folders in your home directory instead.
- Too Many Widget running in the background
Every widget uses up a little bit of memory. This can add up to a whole lot of system resources being used on little applications you aren’t using. Remove any widgets that you aren’t using often or at all.
