I’ve got to give an enormous thanks to Tech-Recipes and their TechTool Pro Brings OS X Lion to a Crawl post. Did I mention there were some speed improvements? Speed like Ford Model-T with three flat tires to ion-rocket-low-orbit-around-Jupiter-for-lunch speed? Windows fling open, startup finishes in seconds after I login, and most every application is back to snapping open.

I followed Tech-recipes’ directions on how to remove TechTool from my mac and restarted.ĭid you hear an enormous yell of delight from somewhere in the southern United States today? Yeah. I remembered I bought and installed TechTool on my mac as part of a drive recovery project I had about month ago. 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”. 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.

Long story short, my Mac Book Pro was slowing down more and more.
