Thanks to all for trying to help out

We need to see all five tabs of the Activity Monitor. Please see post #9 in this thread for an example of what is being asked for.

My advice would be to do the following when your system gets slow:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal
2. Type "purge" (no quotes) and press enter

There will be a short delay. If this seems to solve the slowness of your system then I would recommend for you to upgrade to 4GB of RAM. In any event, let us know what happens. However, I don't think reinstalling OS X will solve the issues you are having.

This happens:

Does there need to be anything special? I couldn't find anything about "purge" here: http://ss64.com/osx/

It seems you have to have CHUD installed: http://cestdelamerde.com/archives/22-Killing-Mac-OS-X-Swapping-How-To-Disable-dynamic_pager.html

It should be in the /usr/bin directory. I'm not sure if it comes installed in OS X or if it is installed with Developer Tools. If it isn't there then you would need to install Xcode.

You must be a apple developer then ? from just from doing my own search.

Run this command in terminal

 sudo kextcache -e -z -a i386

 sudo kextcache -system-caches

This rebuild the kext cache and this will speed up the boot up time.
