Why is my imac running so slow after upgrading to osx 10.9.1?

Ever since i upgraded to OSX 10.9.1 a couple of weeks ago, my mac runs slow, hangs up with the beach ball and generally has become a pain in the neck to work with. I can't identify any one program specifically, it's pretty much everything. I want Mountain Lion back!!! Anyone else having this problem?

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
