Slowing down...

[Alex]

The machine I am using has had LL installed the longest. I have noticed that it has slowed down significantly. What sort(s) of things can I look for to speed it up again to its original performance. I update, clean using lite twiks and run the virus scanner regularly.

Hello!

Be it Android, Linux, or Windows, I've found that the fewer things one installs, the better. If there's a bunch of stuff on there you don't use (or don't use often), it might be best to remove some of it...
