Lately I'm having major problems with responses on my Mini running SL.
Almost every time I move or click with the mouse I get the spinning colour wheel for the longest time before something finally happens.
I checked a few things - activity monitor shows nothing unusual, hard drive is supposedly OK tested using Disk Utility linked from another Mac, memory page ins and outs are OK...
I finally decided to do a CCC clone and when I booted up the clone I denied access to Dashboard and a few other webservers that came up asking for access.
I have now been running on the "Problem Mini" since this morning but booting off the external FW800 drive and all the problems have disappeared.
Mac is as responsive as on day one.
I had suspicions previously that Dropbox was creating problems but now I'm a bit more convinced.
Tonight I will clone back from the external backup drive to the internal drive in the Mini to see if the issue is perhaps drive related after all.
