The new MacOSes have higher performance requirement that older ones. If that's something like a 2009 MacBook and you install Yosemite, it's going to be slower than running Snow Leopard. We found that the best way to improve performance is replacing the hard disk with an SSD drive and adding more memory. Since we just stumbled across this a few days ago: If you have enabled FileVault, you need the recovery password in order to format the hard disk, or decrypt the drive before formatting.
