My own 1-GHz iBook is absolutely no problem but my daughter is visiting friends and she emailed me to ask about an iBook there (new 12" iBook from about 7 months ago) that is so S-L-O-W that there is a lapse of three or four seconds before commands are recognised in the Finder. Windows are very slow to open and close and the computer waits before acting out every Finder command.
It is running OS 10.2.8. I have no idea if keyboard commands and typing are slow to act and appear as well.
What would cause this ??
Any ideas ??
A friend has had a problem with his finder running to 100% cpu usage from time to time. Deleting the finder's preferences fixed it
The prefs file is a .plist - ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist - after it's trashed it'll reset things like window positions & the like, but fixed the cpu usage problem. Worth a shot!
