Mac Lifer using MacBook Pro - why is the performance and network SO slow now?

I'm a 15+ year experience designer that lives on my machine. I'm in Adobe, Safari, Mail, Skype and Gotomeeting every day. Skype audio is spotty, Safari lags, Mail lags, and Adobe Photoshop CS6 fonts seem to give it a ton of grief. I would take it in to a store, but don't have the physical time.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

See ds store's excellent user tip - Why is my computer slow?

You don't say which model you have, how much RAM, how much free space on your internal hard drive, etc. Information like that can be useful.

If you have a wireless connection to your router and can connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
