I think Loren's idea of zero all data has merit. I have seen lots of 
posts after OS upgrades that report computer-specific problems; if 
there are not specific apps or configs that are causing the issues, 
it seems that there must be some issues deep within the individual 
hardware/software that cause anomalies.

After reading some of the reports on this list, I backed up my 
User/Library/Preferences folder, but fortunately had none of the 
reported problems. I am sure that is frustrating for folks like 
Flipper who, from all accounts manages his OS pretty meticulously.

Also, one of the things I did in the early days of OSX, because I had 
no understanding of UNIX permissions, is that I reset the permissions 
of a number of folders so I could see and use them... this caused no 
end of flakiness in my computer until I did a fresh, clean install 
(but did not zero out HD). I suppose Jag's "repair permissions" tool 
fixes that sort of foolishness.
