MacBook Running slow

I got a relatively new MacBook (its just half a year old), I got 8GB ram, 2.8 GHZ i7, running 10.8.2

Lately it's been running super slow,,, most of the time safari is just either lagging or frozen or crashes, it takes forever to close psd, and the whole thing freezes up and takes its time to come back to life,,, other times its running fine... what could be the problem??

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Detox my Mac is a great option to get it running faster, I have used it on a lot of different macs and it works like a dream! Here's a link: http://tinyurl.com/lyabunf
