Hi Martin,
I remember that in earlier versions of OS X, I had been able to keep my
machines up and running for weeks before needing a reboot. I could never do
that in Windows, so it was a nice luxury. However, with the last two versions
of OS on my iMac, I find that I need to reboot every few days to clear such
sluggishness. If there is a way to figure out how to do anything about it
beyond Apple needing to, please let me know.
Take Care

Thank you. That certainly did the trick. What that
actually tells me is that there is some instability, somewhere,
possibly due to a race condition which is occurring upon boot.
That sort of thing is common to very complex systems and
it is a royal pain to try to track down.
I thought that might be the case but I would be the last person
to blame great knowledge.
As one who has written lots of bad programs in my life,
race conditions and off-by-one errors are extremely easy to
create without much thought.

Sometimes a reboot tends to fix issues like that for one reason or************
another. Usually, when I have lagging with apps opening or VO oddities, I
always reboot as my first ?fix? to attempt.
