Slow iMac
I have a 21.5" iMac Retina 2019 running Monterey which I believe has run slowly since I bought it in 2020 but which continues to frustrate me. I'd like to seek advice on fixing the problem before upgrading to Venture so that it doesn't cloud the issue.
It can take up to 4 minutes to boot up from off to the password screen, can take minutes to open an App and many simple tasks take too long to complete. I had a previous iMac (2011) which I felt ran quicker than the new one.
I'm a home user and run nothing very complex on the system.
Have run Etrecheck as advised in other post and will add the report to the post although wasn't offered the opportunity to Allow Full Disk Access.

Any suggestions would be appreciated
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13
