My computer seems slow. How can I make it faster like it used to be?

I regularly use Disc Utilities & run "Verify Disk Permissions"

and the "Repair Disk Permissions"

Is there anything else I can do on a regular basis?

mac osx 10.5.8, Mac OS X (10.5.8), iMac intel core

More info about your iMac
Just saying or putting just "iMac" in your posts and description is not enough info.
Year, screen size, CPU speed and amount of RAM memory installed?
How full is your iMac's hard drive?
Are you running any type of antivirus software or hard drive "cleaning" software or other type of "crapware" ?
How many applications do you have or leave running simultaneously in the background?

Basically... Make sure you have enough Free Hard Drive space for your Mac to Perform as expected...
