Over the past couple of months, I've noticed that my MacBook has been running very slowly, and it seems to be getting worse. The fan runs almost constantly, and commands seem to take an inordinately long period of time to execute. I love my MacBook, but this is really beginning to frustrate me. Any ideas??

Check with Activity Monitor which process is using all the CPU cycles. You can find it in the Applications/Utilities folder.
