Scott, the mac mini seems sluggish in terms of opening applications and just in general - oddly, it seems slower for several minutes or a half hour maybe after I first start using it

the leisurely way it opens windows and menus is notable also

it is about 4 months old and I got extra memory for it at purchase; 2.3 GHz icore 5; 750 Gbyte HDD; 4 Gbyte RAM (1333 MHz DDR)

I was using a 3+ GHz AMD Win 7 machine before switching...
