Q: Slow MacBook Pro - EtreCheck report included

I used Maverick for some time. Upgraded several times from OS X 10.5 and on. Maverick and all other upgrades have worked excellent. Installed OS X Yosemite and everything went slow. Then I downgraded by backup till Maverick and all was fine again. Then I found some procedures to reset SCM  and PRAM and installed Yosemite again and did the instructions to reset these system data. Seemed fine for some days, but then suddenly it is very slow again. I have now done Etrecheck and hope someone can help to tune this better again, or I have to give up Yosemite and restore Maverick from backup again.

Symptom is that everything is slow. Commands or clicking takes 15-60 seconds before anything happens. This makes the MacBook unusable. When previously rstored Maverick it was working excellent again.

Problem description:

The MacBook Pro freezes all the time (cursor goes into spinning wheel and nothing works).

EtreCheck version: 2.0.11 (98)

Feel somehow a bit disappointed in Yosemite compared to all previous OS X upgrades.
