Thanks Bill. Yes I do this but it does not take long before it slows
again. Is there a pref or something that needs
replacing? Nobody else has responded, so I guess there is no answer to
it, or that no one has had the same problem.
Cheers and thanks again
Jon

Subject: Re: G5 slowing down
My G5 did the same thing. Fixed it by turning it off and re-booting.
Now I
turn it off about once per week. Keeps it sweet.

Hi everyone. I think this has been dealt with before so excuse me if
it
has. My G5/1.6/768RAM/OS.X.3.9 is slowing down by the day. What is the
best way to deal with this. I regularly close all apps I am not using,
but use Photoshop CS2 and Dreamweaver MX daily. I have an eDrive
partition that I use with TechTools Pro V4, and Optimize every now and
then.
I hardly use Classic, my kids sometimes download MSM which I delete if
I find it. They have an eMac for this. so no 3rd part apps. As this is
my work machine I would like it to get back to how it performed a year
ago. I have two HD's (47GB and 37GB left, so space is okay). Could it
be RAM? Should I trash
Finder prefs?
Any ideas on why it is going so slow. Normal simple Photoshop actions
are a pain as they take so long. My iBook 1.6 is like lightning by
comparison.
Thanks
Jon
