May 14, 2013 5:49 PM in response to DA_BOMB1998zby molly24u,The dark magic is basically a reset of the SMC (System Management Controller) which is an intel-only feature if you are still more curious I'm sure you can google it and get some insight into how it works.

Jul 22, 2013 6:42 PM in response to zen_kvby Spencerlholbert,Also something that has always worked for me is purging.
Open Terminal (spotlight search is easy way to get there), let the terminal load for a second, type "purge" and hit enter. The computer will seem to slow drastically for about 5 seconds or so, then all returns to normal.
This dumps all the stored memory that is not being used by programs. Sometimes there are memory "leaks" even after you quit a program. Purge the system and free up all that space. You'll be surprised how much faster things will run.

Aug 22, 2013 6:35 AM in response to zen_kvby echoimpact,This trick works well but have had to do this a couple times a week on my MacBook Pro and this seems strange that I keep getting this extreme slow down that has to be reset every few days. Any thoughts?
