Since a few months ago, every time I would save a file from the internet, whether it was a picture or a document or whatever, I would get the spinning rainbow wheel for about 10 seconds. It was annoying but not a big deal. Now, even if I'm trying to download a 10kb picture from the web, I get the spinning wheel for a good 20 seconds. Long enough to make me want to slap the hell outta my macbook pro.
It's not like I'm running a bunch of programs (usually just firefox), and my internet speed is great. Nothing else is really slow, and back when my Mac was new and shiny I didn't have this problem at all.
Is this just a result of my macbook pro getting old? I've had it for 2 years now. Is there anything I can do to speed things up? Cause it's seriously pissing me off just sitting here for half a minute and not being able to do ANYTHING else while something like a emoticon downloads onto my computer. =/
