Q: Why do I have a Spinning beachball when waking from sleep?

When I wake my OS X 10.6.8, 21.5" iMac from sleep it was very slow and there was/is a spinning beachball before it goes to work.  Thinking I may have a failing HD II used etresoft to evaluate it and got an "excellent" condition while speeding up my firefox action considerably but the beach ball is still there.

I read mac extremely slow (randomly), memory full, CPU fine 

I then ran the etresoft and checked my Console to find several notations like this:
