Hello, all

I need/want to create a new account on my MacBook late 2009 that contains all the data from my current account. I have noticed that there is a significant speed difference in both logging into the guest account and doing things in the guest account, that is lacking in my original account. Can I simply copy the Home folder over? Will I lose any important files like Mail messages, or system/application preferences (eg, login info in Adium, Safari Bookmarks, Top Sites, etc)?
Will it actually make a difference?


Thanks in advance!

Also, has anyone found a good free defragmenting program?
