What what do you mean by sluggish?
Are you getting the spinning beach ball?
"Sluggish" doing what?
When did it start?
BTW this is the Mac Pro desktop forum
Yes, I get the spinning thing quite a bit and it takes a long time to open applications. It started about 6 months ago. I removed some unused applications as well as some corresponding files. It did seem to speed up after that but in the last few weeks, the same thing started happening. Would it
help to transfer pics in iPhoto to my external drive?
After using the computer for a while run this and report the results

Next open disk utility and repair the startup disk. Note and report any repairs listed.
Also look at the SMART status for that drive in Disk Utility. If it say Verified that is good.
I will do this and report back. Thanks!
