My iMac is running VERY slowly. I've checked "utilization" and it looks as if I have plenty of capacity. Any ideas?

My iMac has been running incredibly slowly. I'm not exactly geeky, but I've made sure I don't have a lot of other programs running (or at least I don't think that they are running). I have tons of capacity left in terms of my system check....any ideas?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk. You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.

Then Repair Permissions.

No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.
