Why is my macbook pro running slowly?

My macbook pro is running really slowly, even after I reinstalled the OS. I thought I would just live with it, but then I found etrecheck and thought I could get some help through this forum. Rebooting doesn't seem to help. Here's the output from Etrecheck. Any feedback would be very much appreciated:
