Hello Mini-Mac,
I understand that you are having some issues seeing some slow down when right clicking your Mac. Let's see if we can figure out what is going on.
The first place I would look to is using Activity Monitor as this will start you with figuring out what is going on. What you are looking for is when you see the beach ball symbol show up, look here to see if any applications are not responding. It could be correlated to the memory usage or even a CPU process. Take a look at the article below to go over using Activity Monitor.

Take care
