Graham's iMac [PowerPC G5(3.0), 1.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM running 10.3.9]

All applications run slowly and collecting email or using the
Internet is so slow as to be useless. The connection is OK because
my G5 still works well.
I repaired permissions but that has not helped.
Can anyone suggest what is wrong/how to fix it?
Hello Diana,
How much free space do you have on your hard drive? 10/15% is the
least amount you should have free.
Are there are any applications that hog the CPU?
Have you emptied the caches?
Download Onyx for Panther here <http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/onyx_panther.html

Using whatsize will also give you an idea of the size of your various
applications, perhaps there are some you don't need that removing
would speed things up for you.
You can download WhatSize for Panther here:
