Damn, my 2009 Macbook has been running very slowly for the past 4 months or so and no amount of rebooting would resolve the problem. I was actually puzzled when it slowed down to a crawl becoming basically useless and would even restart with the same slowness. Could you elaborate on your fix?
- btown 13y agoSee my comment above - it might help.

- threeseed 13y agoAlso try running sudo fs_usage in Terminal. Every line printed is a disk read/write and since you would be on an older machine with slower I/O you need to reduce the number of lines printed. One useful trick is to add folders to Spotlight's Privacy section e.g. source code, downloads, torrent locations, game files etc.
