I am replying to my own message.
Honest, this 2 GB machine was slow as molasses, it was unuseable, it
would take 40 or 50 seconds for some web pages to load, and Itunes
and other applications were slow slow slow and jerky.
I worked with the machine for a couple of hours trying to figure out
what was happening.
All of a sudden, a message pops up on screen, about a blue tooth
firmware update, so i grudgingly agree to do the update, I have no
bluetooth devices in the vicinity nor do I plan to use any.
The machine restarts, and it is now blazing fast, unbelievably fast,
faster than any of the Windows machines I have ever used
I have not ever read about this, could someone perhaps explain what
happened?
Has this happened to anyone?

Subject: [macvoiceover] Snow Lepoard seens slow
I upgraded a 1 GB Mac Mini from Lepoard to Snow Lepoard, and it
seemed sluggish on the web.
For example, it took 15 seconds for
www.icanworkthisthing.com
to load.
Also, Itunes is sluggish, I'm constantly getting the Itunes, busy
message.
I was really upset about this, so I went out today and bought a 2
GB Mac Mini, it came with lepoard, so i immediately upgraded it to
snow lepoard.
It is still strangely slow and sluggish, with web pages taking 15
to 20 seconds to load, and Itunes, pausing after each key press,
for a second or two, with that Itunes, busy message.
What in the heck am I doing wrong to cause these machines to become
sluggish?
Is there a more efficient way to upgrade, and how can it be done?
This is driving me crazy.
