Q: Why did my Macbook Pro got so slow after formatting and reinstalling Mavericks?

I had Mavericks a month ago, then i upgraded to Yosemite, and my computer got extremely slow, so i formatted it and reinstalled Mavericks again, i feel it's slower than the last time i used it with Mavericks, i have no idea why. i erased my hard drive and reinstalled from an external drive. Seriously i thought it was going to be faster than how i had it before since it's going to be more fresh without so many apps that i don't use often...

Is there anything that i could do?

 

Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
