I'll make this brief and to the point: My 17 inch MBP (circa summer of 2009) is running too slowly. It has 153 GBs of space taken up on the drive as I type this, though it's behaved this way when there's considerably less on it. I've cleared out most of the desktop before without seeing much change. I've got 4 GB of RAM, and it seems like things should be much faster than they are. Lightroom 3 just took at least 20 seconds to load up, and that's unacceptable to me.

What is going on here?
