I originally bought a 21'' imac and exchanged it for a 27'' i5 imac.. I was able to backup/restore everything over with time capsule but the new imac has been running a bit sluggish for such a powerful machine. Could it be that the settings that were moved over from the previous machine are effecting the performance or would it have no effect. I moved over users, settings, documents.. everything.

basically what I'm asking is it a bad idea to use a time capsule backup from one mac to restore (specifically the settings/users) a different mac with different specs
