Mac Mini (late 2012) is somewhat slow.

Hi all,

I've noticed my Mac Mini (late 2012) is somewhat slow to startup, and also takes a lot of time to open certain apps (MS Office Suite, in particular). I figured I would go ahead and post my EtreCheck results here, and see if anyone saw any glaring issues with them. We have the 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, with only 4GB of memory, if that helps at all.

Thanks!
