Run Activity Monitor to see if there are any really hungry programs running in the background. Click on the % CPU column to order the processes by most to least hungry. Run the Console and spelunk the logs to see if there are persistent errors. > Could it be because of my wireless? We just upgraded to an "N" Router. Check out a site like speedtest.net to see if your connection is running as fast as you expect it to. I had one of those machines, and, at that time, the Airport cards for them didn't support 802.11n — 802.11g was the fastest. Are you sure your card supports the "n" protocol from your router?
