Is anybody else have an issue with your Mac Book Pro running slow?
I have done all the tweaks for clean up except for all the cashes. Not sure which ones are necessary and I don't want to screw up anymore than going slow.

My husband is on a Microsoft laptop and has no problems..

Help!
 
What vintage MBP?

Might want to bring up Activity Monitor (Applications > Utilities) to see if something is running amok.
 
Here is what is running and my machine setup. Photo attached.

Something is going on there with speech/dictation chewing up some CPU cycles. Were you using dictation when you took this screenshot?
 
No I only use it occasionally for seri but I could lose that if it would run faster,
How would you stop it from opening up automatically?
