A few weeks ago I mentioned a list of things I do when “repairing” a broken-down Mac (hint: A quick logout and/or reboot often does the trick for me). But what about those times when your computer’s not crashing, but just seems like it’s running a little more sluggish than it should?
Lifehacker offers a seven-step plan for removing the bloat that can build up over time on a Mac. Some of these are a little more complicated than restarting, and a few options aren’t free–but they might save you and your Mac a trip to the repair shop, and more importantly, save you from costly downtime.
