Space doesn't sound like the problem. What are your specs and how are you measuring your speed?

installed the os twice
put 100 gigs on the hd
set trim

ran black magic disk test
i recall hitting 420/499(might have scored higher, wasn't paying much attention cause i thought it was a long test :O)
it probably ran 40-50 times in total :<

last time i tried it, i was getting 240-488!

would like to recondition this drive or restore to factory, so i can have a fresh start. will definitely not make the same mistakes(running benchmarks, keeping hibernation on, etc)

Silly question....
Did you notice the performance degrading before running your benchmarks?

Try this... boot your Mac in Single User Mode by holding command-s while booting. At the resulting command prompt enter "fsck -fy" (without the quotes) then hit enter. This will TRIM all unused blocks on the drive. Then type reboot. Done.
