When did you last allow OS X to do its housekeeping stuff? Onyx (or
MacJanitor to name another product) will run the daily, weekly and
monthly tasks that would happen overnight on the first day of the

it switched on at these times :o).
FWIW, I've got the same machine, and don't experience the problems
that you mention (although I don't have RAW files on external
drives...)
Also, what happens when you boot without the external drives plugged
in? Is the machine still slow?

There's housekeeping stuff? No, I didn't know that. Don't have Onyx.
Presumably, the date/time the housekeeping tasks run is configurable? I
just had a look in System Preferences but couldn't see anything
relevant there.
What application or utility performs these housekeeping tasks?
