[X4U] Spinning BeachBall Delay in Finder

[LA Licata]

Randy, Thanks

Wiull do as you requested.

The drive is 80 GB and it is using 40, with about 34 free...

Thought about that but when I logged in as another user, it was quite  
snappy...

I would start by doing all of the maintenance suggested at:

Macintosh OS X Routine Maintenance
http://www.macattorney.com/ts.html

If that does not help, we will at least have eliminated the obvious  
as having been the problem.

What I suggest is that you download:

YASU (free, donation requested)
http://jimmitchell.org/projects/yasu/

run all of the default chores, and then restart your Mac with the  
Shift key held down (to have Repair Disk run in the background), and  
then, when your drive has fully started up, restart again normally.

See if that helps.

Also, how big is your drive, and how much free space is left on that  
drive?
