I am experiening poor performance with my Mac Pro, including a very slow start up. Typically I get the grey start up screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel for about 2 minutes, and then I can hear my Mac Pro kicking into gear and the startup proceeds, so maybe the whole startup takes 3-4 minutes.

Other weirdness includes a change to the finder dock icon which is faded, and has a faint white square around it. not sure what this means. I have uploaded a photo here for anyone who cares to look at it:

Finally I am getting slow performance with some apps, especially Parallels.

I am not sure if these problems are connected but they all started at the same time, so I suspect they are.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Nick
