    I'd try to update or remove the above items, depending on what you need to run.

     

     

    Bluestacks AppPlayer is in Beta right?

    I'm not sure how well it has been tested, can you uninstall it to see if has any effect?

     

    Is quartzx up to date…

    http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/

    Steamclean is a failed user level job - so if that is behaving badly it could cause issues. Update it or disable the job (remove the plist from ~/Library/LaunchAgents).

    Is Deamon tools up to date? http://www.disc-soft.com/home

    I'm not sure why it needs a system level background daemon to mount disk images?

     

    Also check the login items & pref panes are all up to date.

     

    You can also logout, and then login, but hold shift after you click the login button, that will disable login items (similar to safe mode).

    If the system sleeps with them disabled you know it is time to remove them & get them updated.

    Your graph contains no units so it conveys no useful information.

    Take a look at the original article if you desire…

    http://macperformanceguide.com/Storage-Drive-Seagate-MomentusXT-500GB.html

     

    It's also evident in the expanation on Mac Performance Guide…

    http://macperformanceguide.com/Storage-WhyYouNeedMoreThanYouNeed.html

     

    The graph is illustrating the read & write speed across an entire disk, numbers are not stricly relevant, since it isn't the same disks as the OP, however all spinning disks do this. The only way to avoid the slowdown is to use an SSD.

     

    The OP seems to think 700Mb for was suffice for 10.8, I wish him luck with getting 10.9 to those levels

    I prefer to rely upon my own tests and observations, not misconceptions, irrelevant data, or popular myths. I/O is sufficiently fast even in a conventional HD that the degradation in data throughput differences measured in that analysis will not result in objectionable performance during routine use.

     

    In any event I do not wish to encourage hijacking this thread with distracting information. The OP may have been led to believe that his concern was related to insufficient free space, is correct in maintaining its irrelevance, and justified that assertion with the results of Safe Mode. The cause lies elsewhere.

    I do agree with your assesment that disk space isn't the cause, I just feel it's a contributing factor to poor performance.

    CD$ should continue down the path of looking for conflicts.

     

    com.facebook.videochat.apple.plist has also appeared in other threads on Mavericks performance so perhaps check that is up to date or remove it as a login item.

    Facebook's launchd job is in your home Library, use the Finder menu 'Go > Go to folder…' to open it…

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/

    Delete the file com.facebook.videochat.apple.plist

    This also seems to be Facebook's own instructions to remove the plugin.

    https://www.facebook.com/help/247662461917444

     

     

    You can 'get info' on the XQuartz app /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/ to see the version info. Select the Application in the Finder click menu 'File > Get info'

    You can download the latest to update it…

    http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/

     

    Or to remove it see the "Uninstall (Snow Leopard or Later)" instructions on …

    http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X11-UsersFAQ

     

    The first 2 lines should stop it loading, the second 2 will remove the files it installed

    It is in the Utilities folder!

    /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz

     

    You only need to update if you are using it.

    Otherwise follow the remove instructions.

    Yep uninstall it if you don't need it.

     

    The Utilities folder is inside the main Applications folder (sorry for assuming). The Finder's 'Go menu > Utilities' will take you to it.

     

    You will need to open 'Terminal' inside that folder to run the commands listed in the FAQ page.

    The commands need to be run in an administrator account, so login to that one first (write down the link to the FAQ). Your first user account is an admin. So that will be fine if you only have one.

     

    If you have any errors post copy them & paste them here, they may be normal, but we should double check.

    Yes the ones on the grey box,

    Paste each line, hit return and then copy the output before you continue onto the next one, paste them into a new TextEdit or word document, so you can post it all back here.
