iBook has SLOOOWED
I'm not sure what happened to my computer. I have about 6 gig left on the 30gig hard drive of my iBook 800Mhz. with 640 ram. I installed 10.3 about a month ago. It was working fine, though I upgraded and did not do a complete clean install.
But like I said it was running fine for about a month, and now it runs real slow. The pinwheel starts everytime I open Safari, and lately it hasn't been able to open sites (like this, I'm on IE5 right now). I was using Limewire to download some movies, and some songs. But i never had had a problem with that before.
I have been running MacJanitor, to try and keep everything nice and tidy. I always put my computer to sleep, when I'm not using it. I shut it down and restart it maybe 1x week.
Problem is most sever when Adobe reader is running as well.
Please help.

Open Activity Monitor in your Utilities folder. Select System Memory and take a look at how much Virtual Memory your computer is using...
Mine usually hovers at about 4-6 gb of virtual memory. 4 for even having nothing open at all!
Thanks so far.
