I can only see two messages in this thread, so I'm a little lost, but
the looking-for-reproductions approach is a good one.
Here is my experience with a VERY slow system: It was the "tracker"
service (System... Preferences... Sessions). With a lot of props to
free software developers, I think this app. is evil and I disable it
as soon as I load a new system. It should not be on by default... it
takes up way to many resources.
good luck,
