Just installed, performance issue

I just installed Arch on my laptop to try and get some experience with a more DIY type distro, and I'm having performance issues. Compiling my wireless driver from source took over an hour, and it only took about 10 minutes in ubuntu. I noticed that there was very little activity shown on the HD indicator LED. In ubuntu the LED would be lit up constantly when compiling anything. I think it might have something to do with my HD. I saw that having conflicting host names in the configuration files could be an issue so I checked that, but they were the same. I'm really new to this type of distro, so I'm probably missing something really obvious.

Oh maybe my etc/hosts is wrong. I was looking on the arch wiki and set it up in the format suggested there.
localhost.localdomain localhost hostname
^
I didn't know I was supposed to put anything here.
I'll have to try setting it up that way when I get home.
would my local domain just be the broadcast IP?
No there are no errors, it just sits there saying "retrieving packages from core/extras" and then I interrupt it and start it over and it works fine. I'm hoping that the /etc/hosts change will resolve things.
Also my GNOME crashes when I try to install a new icon theme package. I drag and drop the package onto the appearance window and it crashes. I know this is a valid theme file as I've used it successfully on other distros. I'm worried it could be instability caused by the 2.6.28 kernel, as that is what killed my ubuntu install. Also the reason I started using arch. I need to use that kernel to resolve the ACPI problems my laptop was having with previous kernels.

Vista Client Install Performance Issues

I have searched for Vista AND install and did not find anything related to the following situation. The client has installed Business One on several workstations, most are Windows XP; however, two of the machines are Windows Vista. On the two Vista machines, it takes approximately 15 seconds, just for the window form to open. On the XP machines, the response is almost immediate. I know 15 seconds is not that long, but in contrast to the XP machines, it seems unwieldy and raises concerns about future performance and more demanding tasks.
Now, for the twist, when conducting a GoToAssist session with the client, the time delay goes away. After endng the session, the time delay returned. I am guessing that some security and Internet Explorer settings may be the root of the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct or determine the source of the problem?

Hi David,
In MS Vista, enabling the new graphics feature known as "Aero Glass" results in a very slow display of SAP Business One window.
Please do as Method 1 & Method 2 mentioned in SAP Note [1092330|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1odSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1092330]. Both of the two methods change the appearance and performance of Vista, this will promote Vista efficiency.
Please also check your Vista edition and be aware Windows Vista Home Edition is not supported. You can have an overview about all supported products on the following location.

I just installed Lion and the newest version of Logic express 9 (9.1.5) and every time i playback audio I get this error message: [Disk is too slow or System Overload. (-10010) . Never had any issues before now...

I just installed OSX Lion (10.7.2) and updated to the newest version of Logic express (9.1.5) on a macbook and every time I playback audio I get this error message: [Disk is too slow or System Overload. (-10010) The Sudden Motion Sensor may have parked the hard drive head, or the disk performance is not sufficient to read or write all audio tracks, or the system was not able to process all data in time]
Never had any issues before now... any ideas?

Have a look into the Preferences folder (YourUserFolder/Libraries/Preferences/) and trash all Logic preferences.
You'll have to setup the program again.

Event ID 5013 - Old Exchange 2003 reference from Active Directory - Performance Issues or Just a Message?

Hello,
I am working on an existing 2010 Exchange implementation. The site has one Exchange 2010 server with no other Exchange servers running and/or available. I looked through the application logs and I see multiple Event ID 5013 errors that state,
"The routing group for Exchange server <ServerName>.<DomainName>.LOCAL was not determined in routing tables with timestamp 6/24/2014 8:01:48 PM. Recipients will not be routed to this server."
I would like to know if by having this old 2003 Exchange server in AD, if it could be causing performance issues or if it is just a warning message only. I have located the old server name using ADSIedit under, "CN=Configuration,DC=<DomainName>DC=Local\CN=Services\CN=Microsoft
Exchange\CN=First Organization\CN=Administrative Groups\CN=First Administrative Group\CN=Servers". The old 2003 Exchange server is then listed in the right window pane so it could be deleted but I would need to know if this would effect the Exchange
environment other than removing the error from the event logs.
Thank you for your help,
Michael

Hi,
When you install Exchange 2010 in an existing Exchange 2003 environment, a routing group connector is created automatically. If you remove Exchange 2003 from you environment, you should also delete this routing group connector.
Besides, here is a related article about Event ID 5013 which may help you for your reference.

I just installed Mountain Lion. I'm having an issue on the log in screen.

Hello,
I just installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on my iMac. We have four user accouts on the computer and when you first wake the computer where you would normally choose an account and log in the screen is white. When you move the mouse around it leave a little trail of the log in screen until you find your acct and click on it and then it allows you to log in. Its never done that before, at least until I upgraded. This computer was bought right before Lion came out and I didn't upgrade it right away because I wanted to wait and see how everyone else liked it. I finally upgraded last week and aside from this issue it works great and I love the features but it is really annoying. What should I do? Has anyone else had the problem? I upgraded my Macbook and it hasn't had any problems but I only have one acct on it since my wife and kids don't use it. Thanks for the help in advance.

Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

SCOM 2012 R2 Agent Issue: Error 25211.Failed to install performance counters.. Error Code: -2147024809

Hi All,
I'm trying to deploy SCOM 2012 R2 agent onto a domain controller and I get the following error "Product: Microsoft Monitoring Agent -- Error 25211.Failed to install performance counters.. Error Code: -2147024809 (The parameter is incorrect.)."
I've installed the agent successfully onto 4 other domain controllers with out any issues.</p><p>The domain controllers are all VM's running on VMWare and are Windows Server 2012 R2.
I've rebuilt the Perfmon Counters based on this article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2554336?a=wsignin1.0
I've also enabled verbose logging on the msi installation:

Any help on this would be great.

Hi Stefan,
I've successfully installed the agent. The server needed a reboot after fixing the corrupt perfmon counters.
I know have a issue with the agent on the domain controller. It kkeeps on greying out and have used hslockdown to allow the local system access by using the following command.
HSLockdown.exe "ManagementGroupName" /A "NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users"
Further digging into the issue I see in the SCOM Management Server the following error "The entity servername is not heartbeating"
Written a SQL query to gather more information. SQL query I used is:
SELECT
ME.FullName,
HSO.StartDateTime AS OutageStartDateTime,
DATEDIFF (DD, hso.StartDateTime, GETDATE()) AS OutageDays,
HSO.ReasonCode,
DS.Name AS ReasonString
FROM vManagedEntity AS ME
INNER JOIN vHealthServiceOutage AS HSO ON HSO.ManagedEntityRowId = ME.ManagedEntityRowId
INNER JOIN vStringResource AS SR ON HSO.ReasonCode =
REPLACE(LEFT(SR.StringResourceSystemName, LEN(SR.StringResourceSystemName)
– CHARINDEX(‘.’, REVERSE(SR.StringResourceSystemName))), ‘System.Availability.StateData.Reasons.’, ”)
INNER JOIN vDisplayString AS DS ON DS.ElementGuid = SR.StringResourceGuid
WHERE (SR.StringResourceSystemName LIKE ‘System.Availability.StateData.Reasons.[0-9]%’)
AND DS.LanguageCode = ‘ENU’
AND ME.FullName like ‘%SERVER NAME%’ –Change name here or leave %% for ALL SERVERS
ORDER BY OutageStartDateTime
This gives me the following reason behind the failure : "The heartbeat from System Center Management Service is missing."
Have I missed anything? The agent is running fine, however SCOM is reporting that the heartbeat is missing.
Any help on this would be great.

HT1178 Just installed Airport TC and having connectivity issues. Please advise.

I just installed Airport TC. Get flashing "double nat" on TC's Status. Changed to bride mode and computer loses connectivity to the internet saying ip address is already in use. Ipv4 set to DHCP only. Please advise.

After you set the Time Capsule to Bridge Mode.....
Did you power off both your modem/router and the Time Capsule, wait a minute, start the modem/router first and let it run a few minutes, then start the Time Capsule?

Interested by performance issue ? Read this ! If you can explain, you're a master Jedi !

After many days of tests, I wanna share my results with community and comment them.
CPU Introduction
I tested my cpu and pushed it at maximum speed to understand where is the limit, can I reach this limit and I've logged precisely all result in graph (See pictures 1).
Intro : I tested my E5-XEON 2687W (8 Cores Hyperthread - 16 threads) to know if programs can use the maximum of it. I used Prime 95 to get the result. // I know this seem to be ordinary, but you will understand soon...
The result : Yes, I can get 100% of my CPU with 1 program using 20 threads in parallel. The CPU gives everything it can !
Comment : I put 3 IO (cpu, disk, ram) on the graph of my computer during the test...
(picture 1)
Disk Introduction
I tested my disk and pushed it at maximum speed to understand where is the limit and I've logged precisely all result in graph (See pictures 2).
Intro : I tested my RAID 0 556GB (LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i SATA3 6GB/s 5 disks with Fastpath Chip Installed) to know if I can reach the maximum % disk usage (0% idle Time)
The result : As you can see in picture 2, yes, I can get the max of my drive at ~ 1.2 Gb/sec read/write steady !
Comment : I put 3 IO (cpu, disk, ram) on the graph of my computer during the test to see the impact of transfering many Go of data during ~10 sec...
(picture 2)
Now, I know my limits ! It's time to enter deeper in the subject !
PPBM5 (H.264) Result
I rendered the sequence (H.264) using Adobe Media Encoder.
The result :
My CPU is not used at 100%, the turn around 50%
My Disk is totally idle !
All the process usage are idle except process of (Adobe Media Encoder)
The transfert rate seem to be a wave (up and down). Probably caused by (Encrypt time.... write.... Encrypt time.... write...) // It's ok, ~5Mb/sec during transfert rate !
CPU Power management give 100% of clock to CPU during the encoding process (it's ok, the clock is stable during process).
RAM, more than enough ! 39 Go RAM free after the test ! // Excellent
~65 thread opened by Adobe Media Encoder (Good, thread is the sign that program try to using many cores !)
GPU Load on card seem to be a wave also ! (up and down) ~40% usage of GPU during the process of encoding.
GPU Ram get 1.2Go of RAM (But with GTX 680, no problem and Quadro 6000 with 6 GB RAM, no problem !)
Comment/Question : CPU is free (50%), disks are free (99%), GPU is free (60%), RAM is free (62%), my computer is not pushed at limit during the encoding process. Why ???? Is there some time delay in the encoding process ?
Other : Quadro 6000 & GTX 680 gives the same result !
(picture 3)
PPBM5 (Disk Test) Result (RAID LSI)
I rendered the sequence (Disk Test) using Adobe Media Encoder on my RAID 0 LSI disk.
The result :
My CPU is not used at 100%
My Disk wave and wave again, but far far from the limit !
All the process usage are idle except process of (Adobe Media Encoder)
The transfert rate wave and wave again (up and down). Probably caused by (Buffering time.... write.... Buffering time.... write...) // It's ok, ~375Mb/sec peak during transfert rate ! Easy !
CPU Power management give 100% of clock to CPU during the encoding process (it's ok, the clock is stable during process).
RAM, more than enough ! 40.5 Go RAM free after the test ! // Excellent
~48 thread opened by Adobe Media Encoder (Good, thread is the sign that program try to using many cores !)
GPU Load on card = 0 (This kind of encoding is GPU irrelevant)
GPU Ram get 400Mb of RAM (No usage for encoding)
Comment/Question : CPU is free (65%), disks are free (60%), GPU is free (100%), RAM is free (63%), my computer is not pushed at limit during the encoding process. Why ???? Is there some time delay in the encoding process ?
(picture 4)
PPBM5 (Disk Test) Result (Direct in RAMDrive)
I rendered the same sequence (Disk Test) using Adobe Media Encoder directly in my RamDrive
Comment/Question : Look at the transfert rate under (picture 5). It's exactly the same speed than with my RAID 0 LSI controller. Impossible ! Look in the same picture the transfert rate I can reach with the ramdrive (> 3.0 Gb/sec steady) and I don't go under 30% of disk usage. CPU is idle (70%), Disk is idle (100%), GPU is idle (100%) and RAM is free (63%). // This kind of results let me REALLY confused. It's smell bug and big problem with hardware and IO usage in CS6 !
(picture 5)
PPBM5 (MPEG-DVD) Result
I rendered the sequence (MPEG-DVD) using Adobe Media Encoder.
The result :
My CPU is not used at 100%
My Disk is totally idle !
All the process usage are idle except process of (Adobe Media Encoder)
The transfert rate wave and wave again (up and down). Probably caused by (Encoding time.... write.... Encoding time.... write...) // It's ok, ~2Mb/sec during transfert rate ! Real Joke !
CPU Power management give 100% of clock to CPU during the encoding process (it's ok, the clock is stable during process).
RAM, more than enough ! 40 Go RAM free after the test ! // Excellent
~80 thread opened by Adobe Media Encoder (Lot of thread, but it's ok in multi-thread apps!)
GPU Load on card = 100 (This use the maximum of my GPU)
GPU Ram get 1Gb of RAM
Comment/Question : CPU is free (70%), disks are free (98%), GPU is loaded (MAX), RAM is free (63%), my computer is pushed at limit during the encoding process for GPU only. Now, for this kind of encoding, the speed limit is affected by the slower IO (Video Card GPU)
Other : Quadro 6000 is slower than GTX 680 for this kind of encoding (~20 s slower than GTX).
(picture 6)
Encoding single clip FULL HD AVCHD to H.264 Result (Premiere Pro CS6)
You can look the result in the picture.
Comment/Question : CPU is free (55%), disks are free (99%), GPU is free (90%), RAM is free (65%), my computer is not pushed at limit during the encoding process. Why ???? Adobe Premiere seem to have some bug with thread management. My hardware is idle ! I understand AVCHD can be very difficult to decode, but where is the waste ? My computer want, but the software not !
(picture 7)
Render composition using 3D Raytracer in After Effects CS6
You can look the result in the picture.
Comment : GPU seems to be the bottle neck when using After Effects. CPU is free (99%), Disks are free (98%), Memory is free (60%) and it depend of the setting and type of project.
Other : Quadro 6000 & GTX 680 gives the same result in time for rendering the composition.
(picture 8)
Conclusion
There is nothing you can do (I thing) with CS6 to get better performance actually. GTX 680 is the best (Consumer grade card) and the Quadro 6000 is the best (Profressional card). Both of card give really similar result (I will probably return my GTX 680 since I not really get any better performance). I not used Tesla card with my Quadro, but actually, both, Premiere Pro & After Effects doesn't use multi GPU. I tried to used both card together (GTX & Quadro), but After Effects gives priority to the slower card (In this case, the GTX 680)
Premiere Pro, I'm speechless ! Premiere Pro is not able to get max performance of my computer. Not just 10% or 20%, but average 60%. I'm a programmor, multi-threadling apps are difficult to manage and I can understand Adobe's programmor. But actually, if anybody have comment about this post, tricks or any kind of solution, you can comment this post. It's seem to be a bug...
Thank you.

Patrick,
I can't explain everything, but let me give you some background as I understand it.
The first issue is that CS6 has a far less efficient internal buffering or caching system than CS5/5.5. That is why the MPEG encoding in CS6 is roughly 2-3 times slower than the same test with CS5. There is some 'under-the-hood' processing going on that causes this significant performance loss.
The second issue is that AME does not handle regular memory and inter-process memory very well. I have described this here: Latest News
As to your test results, there are some other noteworthy things to mention. 3D Ray tracing in AE is not very good in using all CUDA cores. In fact it is lousy, it only uses very few cores and the threading is pretty bad and does not use the video card's capabilities effectively. Whether that is a driver issue with nVidia or an Adobe issue, I don't know, but whichever way you turn it, the end result is disappointing.
The overhead AME carries in our tests is something we are looking into and the next test will only use direct export and no longer the AME queue, to avoid some of the problems you saw. That entails other problems for us, since we lose the capability to check encoding logs, but a solution is in the works.
You see very low GPU usage during the H.264 test, since there are only very few accelerated parts in the timeline, in contrast to the MPEG2-DVD test, where there is rescaling going on and that is CUDA accelerated. The disk I/O test suffers from the problems mentioned above and is the reason that my own Disk I/O results are only 33 seconds with the current test, but when I extend the duration of that timeline to 3 hours, the direct export method gives me 22 seconds, although the amount of data to be written, 37,092 MB has increased threefold. An effective write speed of 1,686 MB/s.
There are a number of performance issues with CS6 that Adobe is aware of, but whether they can be solved and in what time, I haven't the faintest idea.

Performance issues with ID CS5

Am working on netowkred Windows XP Pro Intel Core 2 6300 1.83GHz 3 MB RAM computer and just installed CS5 Premium.
Am having issues with moving linked objects such as eps or jpegs (especially larger ones or grouped bunches of small jpeg pictures at once)
Have set preferences to Proxy and lowest display settings but does not help
Am not able to position the grouped items as they jump all over the place, and moving is very choppy even with smaller groups or single ai files.
There are 3 of us here with all same computer specs and we are all have same issue.
Any suggestions?

The 7.0.3 update is supposed to help with this, but the primary way to work around this is to open the preferences and set Live Screen Drawing to Delayed.
EPS images can also put a drag on performance, and are a dprecated format. Native .psd or .ai files are preferred.

ITunes on Windows 7 performance issues - slow and hangs

Is there any way to improve performance of iTunes running on Windows 7?
It has always been slow with lots of application hangs and stalls that will resolve themselves if you wait for iTunes to catch up, but I find it incredibly frustrating.
For example, when iTunes starts and if it is checking podcasts, the entire application is unresponsive until it finishes checking and refreshing podcasts.
Alternately, when viewing my iPad Air and looking at the list of apps installed via iTunes it can take 30 seconds before iTunes responds.
Considering that this is running on a system with a quad-core Haswell processor at 3.2Ghz, 16GB of RAM and Windows 7 x64 it is pretty unacceptable.
The efficiency at which iTunes operates is just appalling. I can run Adobe Photoshop and many more memory hungry and processor intensive applications than iTunes and get better performance than what I see in iTunes.
This is not specific to my system either. All of my family members have iPhones and their own computers and this performance issue exists on every computer I have ever run iTunes on.
Is there any way to manually tune performance because this is pretty crappy. It's been bugging me for years, but today just kind of feels like the last straw.

I guess the answer is, "It's terribad, live with it"

Performance issue with brand new intel iMac extreme

I am at a loss to explain a problem I've been having and I thought I might put it out to you guys.
In September I purchased a macbook Pro (2.4 ghz, 4 GB RAM) to use in video editing with Final Cut Pro, and for the most part I've been thrilled. I use 1TB LaCie external drives connected via FW800, and perform Multiclip editing with 4-5 video streams at a time and only on occasion have dropped frames during the editing process.
In December I determined that I needed to have an additional system, and thought a 2.8Ghz Intel iMac extreme would be an excellent choice, since for the same price I could get a little more power in the processor, more hard drive space and a bigger screen to work on. When we picked up the new system in the store (The Grove Apple Store in LA), we had them upgrade the memory to 4GB.
Since day one we have had performance issues, including problems playing streaming and DVD video, severe delays mounting and unmounting drives (firewire and USB) and application images, and freezing while doing even simple tasks like printing or checking email. These problems occur even while there are no external drives are connected. I have none of these issues with the Macbook Pro, which has virtually an identical set of programs installed, and both running the same version of Leopard.
I already took the original iMac back to the store, and they exchanged it, but did not have 4GB sets of RAM in stock so they took the RAM from the original machine and put it in the new one. They said if I continued to have problems then it was most likely the RAM and I should come back when they got more in stock. I DID have the same problems with the new machine, and took it back to the Apple Store and they swapped the memory. It seemed to improve the issue, but now I'm seeing the same severe performance issues again.
All tech support can do is tell me to do a PRAM reset, which seems to improve things very temporarily (but that may be my imagination) or have me restart, which at least has the ability to make the printing of documents capable.
What I'm wondering is if it is likely that the RAM is the issue and I just got another bad batch, or if the iMac has some weird glitch that isn't present in the macbook Pro...?? Or could I have possibly gotten 2 bad systems in a row? It's extremely frustrating, and I KNOW it shouldn't be this way! It's so bad I get better performance out of my single-core G5 tower! How do I get a good working system that operates like it should? Am I better off getting another Macbook Pro? I'd rather not for several reasons...
I have xbench on both the MBP and the iMac and can provide test numbers if they'll help, as well as any other info.
Thank you so much for reading my novella of a post and also for any insight you have!
Best,
Travis

Hi!
I got the same problem with my MacBook when it still was new in may 2006. It was supposed to be one of the faster Laptops around but it was soooo slow it drove me nuts. I can only advise to have a look if there is something hugging up your RAM and run some tests using these programs on your machine:
Xbench:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10081
MenuMeters:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10451
If they show any unusual results you might have your problem...
As to my problem with the MacBook: I did a complete re-install (writing the harddisk over with zeroes) and suddenly everything was just fine. (But be sure to back all your files before that, I learned this one the hard way.) I know it is just a standard answer, but it worked out for me this time...
Hope this helps in some ways.
Cheers,
Rene

How should I report forum performance issues?

The forums rely heavily on the caching features of browsers to improve the speed of page rendering. Performance of these forums should greatly improve after a few pages because more and more of the images, css and javascript is cached in the browser. As a consequence, when reporting forums performance issues the report should include some information on the state of the browser cache to determine whether the issue is a browser issue or a server issue. Such detailed information is generally not available from just watching the browser screen, but needs to come from specialized tools such as performance monitor plugins and recording proxies.
The preferred report method for performance issues is to use the speed reporting features build into or available as a plugin for a browser for both the page you want to report a problem with and several refence pages in the site. Detailed instructions are listed below separated out for different browsers. If possible, please use Firefox for submitting the report because it provides an export format that can be read back electronically.
Known performance issues
The performance issues with any screen with a Rich Text Editor, such as the Reply window and the compose Private Message window have been acknowleged and improvements are being implemented.
Mozilla Firefox (preferred)
Warning: it is currently not recommended to generate a speed report when logged in. The speed report has enough detail for somebody else to hijack your session and impersonate you on the forums. If you really must report while logged in, make sure you log out your browser after generating the speed report and wait at least 4 hours before posting.

When you report a performance problem please attach the screenshots and an explanation of how you are experiencing the issues (for instance how much slower it is then normal) and include a description of your internet connection (dial-up, dsl, cable etc.) and the country from where you are connecting.
Apple Safari
The Apple Safari Web Inspector has a Resources panel similar to the Resources panel in the Google Chrome developer tools.To get there, follow these steps:
Show the menu bar.
Go to preferences
Go to the Advanced Tab
Check “Show Develop menu in menu bar”.
From the Develop menu select “Show Web Inspector”.
Collecting the performance information and exporting works exactly the same as in Google Chrome. Please refer to the instructions for Google Chrome.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
IE does not have native features to analyze web traffic. No plugins have been found that produce the required information (please let us know if we missed any). For now, please reproduce the issue with Firefox, Chrome or Safari.
Please note that due to the reliance on Javascript for the interactive effects the performance of these forums will be much better on MS IE 8 then on previous versions of MS IE.

Hi
It works, check once again...

Performance issues since upgrade

I am on a late 2011 MacBook Pro and am having severs performance issues since upgrading to Mavericks. I fear my issues may be related to company installed anti-virus (which I cannot remove), but I was hoping someone could look over my EtreCheck for other potential solutions.
One really odd issue I am having, which I cannot seem to find good information for on Google, is at least 4-5 times a day my Mac just stops. No beach ball, no anything, for about 1-5 minutes. Then it's fine. Maybe just me grasping at straws, but it seems related to a when webpage loads a bunch of images? I always use Safari btw, but testing other browsers, like Chrome & Firefox, it happens as well.
I have also removed TotalFinder and have noticed no improvement and still have the above issue.
Thanks in advance!
Here is my EtreCheck:

My macbook pro is suddenly having major performance issues

Hi,
I´ve been having some performance issues with my Macbook Pro (late 2006) and was hoping that someone here might be able to help me figure out what it is.
It all started about a month ago with the disc utility giving me an error.
The error said something about the amount of threads being wrong.
I popped in the install dvd and fixed the problem. I also did a complete reinstall and upgraded from leopard to snow leopard.
There was nothing wrong with the S.M.A.R.T.-status of the drive.
At the same time the hardrive error came around my cpu started to choke. The cpu-problem didn´t go away after I repaired the disc and formatted the drive and installed 10.6.
Now it feels like the cpu is running way below it´s capacity. Even the simplest of tasks make my computer choke.
My audio applications are working at about half the speed of what they used to handle. Converting a wave file to mp3 takes about twice as long, and converting a video is even worse.
I haven´t had any problems since I bought it in 2006. It is still running smooth - except for the lack of speed. It´s not really acting weird or being unstable, just slow. Way slower than it is supposed to be (and was before).
And it happened overnight.
I also had a kernel panic last week. But after restarting the system it went away and I haven´t seen it since.
My specs are: C2D 2.16, 3GB RAM, 120GB 5400rpm hdd, OS 10.6.4...
Would really appreciate help of any/every kind!
I fear that this might be the end of my work horse

Well, kind of a good news bad news situation for you.
Bad news, is that your hard drive is dying. Make sure you back things up while you still can. Disk Utility's SMART status is generally just this side of useless I'm afraid. I've seen plenty of drives that are completely toast, that will show up as "Verified".
Good news, is that as repairs go, this is close to as cheap as they get. It's up to you if you want to attempt doing it yourself, but be sure to look for some kind of take apart guide first. Look it over, and if you're even a little unsure, take it somewhere. Shortly after this model they started making it a lot easier to do HDD upgrades, not that it does you a lot of good.
Anyway, even for a system as old as yours, this is a very cost effective repair if everything else is still working fine, and you're satisfied with the system. It's also a good opportunity to upgrade, give yourself a little extra space. No need to go overboard, but maybe a 250GB drive or so. A touch over 2X the space you had before, which can be had on the cheap. Just about any 2.5" SATA drive should work in that system.

Just installed, performance issue
