When I install applications outside of the mac app store, they usually show up in the applications folder but their image is not displayed. To cure this, I need to either reboot or wait a while.

Here is what I am talking about:


Is there a way to fix this?

Its normal
 
Is this due to the harddrive or what?

Also, would an SSD fix this?
 
No need to reboot. Open up terminal and type killall Dock then it will reload your dock and load the icon.
