    All of the above are good suggestions, but more than anything else if you only have like 4 GBs of RAM and lots of apps running all the time you would benefit from more.

    SSD upgrade = big win, but is expensive compared to upping RAM.

    File and application clutter or build-up affects all operating systems. Removing unused files and apps and cleaning up can do a lot and is generally a good idea. You have to clean your computer just like you have to pick up your room/house/apartment. You can test this in action by creating a new user and logging in as that user only — I bet everything will seem faster.

    10.8 is much better than 10.7, faster too.
