I get to see the spinning wheel with almost every action on my mac. Last week I cleaned out my entire mac and put everything back on it but the spinning wheel remains. I have now done the Etrecheck program with "Beachballing" and now I see that the performance is POOR. This is the report but can anyone help what the problem is now?
iMac, OS X 10.11
This is a about as big a red flag as you can get:
Performance:
System Load: 1.43 (1 min ago) 1.89 (5 min ago) 2.16 (15 min ago)
Nominal I/O speed: 0.37 MB/s
File system: 24.12 seconds
Write speed: 26 MB/s
Read speed: 69 MB/s
Even an entry-level iMac 21.5" with a miserable 3GB/sec 5400 RPM roto-drive will post drive scores of 50-70MB/sec.
With a 6GB/sec SSD your read/write speeds should be in the range of 500GB/sec. That points to massive issues with your Kingston SSD. Generally Crucial and OWC SSDs perform best in Macs.

Uninstall both Mac Cleaner.app & CleanMyMac, then run etrecheck again to see what chaff it left.
