Whenever I close or open a document, or change from one thing to another, I get that revolving icon that looks like a fan in color. It can take a long time before it lets me go where I want.
I am using Yosemite 10.10.5 on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012).
Please advise

Hi Susan ,
That is generally a sign of too little Memory and/or too little free space on the Disk.
Open Activity Monitor, Show:>All Processes, sort on CPU%, see if anything using too much CPU% when this happens, click on Memory tab, do you have unused Memory?
Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
Also note you are using Yosemite but you posted in the Tiger forum. Usually you will get speedier responses by posting in the correct forum.
thank you
I keep getting the round icon that circles whenever I close or try to start another process
