Comp takes so long to start up!

[Squirrelflight]

Just comparing out new Macbook Air to my over 2 year old Macbook. I've tried deleting/uninstalling unnecessary stuff, but it still takes a long time to load.When I open up chrome it bounces for along time whereas in one click on the Macbook air it is up.

Is there even a possible way to speed things up? My old comp is still on Snow Leopard. Would updating speed it up? Just curious.

I don't really want to add more memory. I just want to know ways to speed up the comp without doing all that. I figured deleting stuff would help but it doesn't. I don't get it.

Deleting stuff will not help and might even damage something.

If you want to enhance the performance of your Mac, be sure to check these two articles, do not just use applications, that promise to do it for you.

And the MacBook Air has an SSD, the MacBook Pro probably has an HDD. An SSD is loads faster than an HDD.

Maybe this similar thread can shed some light.
