Many people complain their computer is slow, when really it is their Internet Connection that is slow. What are your Network settings? PPoE DSL or PPoA Do you have the setting "Stay Connected" selected in your Router? Robert, post your Router and Network settings please, as not knowing how you have your Router and Network setup makes it difficult to suggest what might be wrong. > I wonder if any "Wammugers" could be experiencing the same frustrations and > if there are any cures. I have not had any problems with Mountain Lion, once Spotlight finished indexing the Hard Drive, I've found Mountain Lion faster than Lion. So what is causing the erratic behaviour on your Mountain Lion install?? Are you sure Spotlight has finished indexing? You can click on the Spotlight icon in the main menu bar to check on progress if it is indexing. How Much RAM (memory) do you have installed? How much free space on your Hard Drive? Do you have any incompatible Apps that could be causing conflicts? The best way to check your applications is of course to run them and check to see if any unusual behaviour occurs. If things don’t look quite right, open up Activity Monitor from the Applications > Utilities folder and track down the errant app or process to see what it’s CPU usage is like. You should soon be able to tell if things aren’t quite working as normal. Do you have a lot of 'unused' Applications open and perhaps running in the background? If so Quit some to see if that helps. Is your Desktop clean? Doesn't have heaps of files on it. > HOPEFUL!
