Long story short, my Mac Book Pro was slowing down more and more. Disk repair wasn’t helping, removing everything from the startup items wasn’t doing it, and repairing the keychain(s) and trashing application preferences did exactly diddly\/squat.<\/p>\n

I was about to do the old nuke-and-pave when I found a blog titled tech-recipes with an article titled “TechTool Pro Brings OS X Lion to a Crawl”<\/a>. I remembered I bought and installed TechTool on my mac as part of a drive recovery project I had about month ago.<\/p>\n
