Q: Why did Mavericks slow down my MBP?

Did some digging in Discussions and found that a slow-down problem is common after installing Mavericks.

 

EtreCheck was recommended as a diagnostic first step. I have  a report but I am not confident to act on any items without advice. Here it is - help appreciated.
