this is really weird and has only happened recently. when browsing websites it appears scrolling has become really slow and unresponsive (especially using the two finger function on the trackpad). furthermore, the time between typing and viewing it on screen is delayed. i have 2gb of ram, 2.2 ghz so i don't know what is happening. i looked and no hidden programs were eating up my ram. what gives?

Are you using Firefox? Could be that. I am finding that my version has slowed down recently on a mac.
- i wasn't using firefox, and i used onyx to "clean up" my system. who knows?studderine

open that badboy up, make sure it's not a 486 in disguise.

I did have to switch back to Safari after I upgraded to Leopard as it took a huge performance hit.

trash the .pref file for the app(s) causing issues and have it rebuild them by default. sometimes depending on externals loaded, it can hang onto unneeded cache and cause a lag when it is trying to index said cache file when loading something else.
that, or the space-time-continuum theory...
