What do you mean by really slow? My old MacBook is also running slowly, and I hadn't thought of the capacitor as being a possible culprit.

It's been a while and I got rid of it but IIRC it still provided power but was under watt, you can confirm by comparing the normal level for you model. BTW once you've confirmed you can pretty much dump it, won't be easy to find fix other than getting a replacement motherboard, which is pretty much everything.
