My macpro is getting slower when i open any application

Hi I used to love my mac ... but now a days im getting fed up with this... i used to proudly say to my friends about it. Since few days there is an issue with both of my mac books... i dont know why .. when i operate or open an application or play a movie or do anything on my mac it gets slower. The mouse doesn't move freely. I tried clearing my history, cache and unwanted application and my free memory in my mac s almost around 100gb with 4gb ram. I had quit all unwanted operations through activity moniter but the problem still persists. It is kinda irritating as windows sometimes does. What should I do?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Hi..

Memory or free disk space? Not enough available disk space can slow the startup disk down.


Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.


Try a different mouse.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


If your CPU usage is 95-98%, you've got some app process(es) working hard!


Does the fan become loud?


What does Activity Monitor show?

(Click to sort %CPU in descending order as shown.)
