Okay, I ran Disk Utility, selected mac HD and had it Verify, and it
found no errors. ("appears to be OK"). Cool!
Good.
Of the 160 G on my hard drive, I have 132.76 G of free space.
Good.
I use Safari for browsing, and I cleared caches and cookies a few weeks ago.
Do it again. Safari tends to get slower and slower as its cache
grows. Ditto for its cookie and web site icon databases.
Another thing to try is to enable the Develop menu in Safari (via
Safari's Preferences). Therein are items to quickly enable/disable
various features. I've found that sites are often linking to the
likes of facebook -- which causes their pages to take forever to
load. If you turn off JavaScript then visit those pages, *bam* they
load at warp speed!
I do get the spinny beach balls when opening iTunes app.
Yea, that's normal. iTunes does a lot of farking around when it
launches. It checks the integrity of its data on your HD, then it
talks to Apple quite a bit. It can take quite a long time for the
SPOD to clear if your iTunes library is large.
I don't have to refresh every single webpage I go to, no. So maybe
it's just those aforementioned websites then.
Try to note which sites give the most pain.
I also ditched the Ad Block extension today, since I read in another
post that that can cause big lags in pages loading.
Yea, but it might just be some of its settings too.
...In the mean time, to get back to the errors from TT and AHT, it
might be a good idea to update your backups, just in case.
