I'm really not sure as I've never had to troubleshoot a slow probook before. This thing has always ran blazingly fast. Specs, including my azurwave broadcom BCM943225HMB are in my sig.
Keep in mind, I recently upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. But I did it on chameleon/chimera. It worked fine until I reinstalled with the clover usb and changed my udid and such a few times to get imessage working. (of course I can't get that working, just like everyone else.)
Things that are problematic since the clover upgrade:
Things that I've changed recently:
I think that's all the changes. As of now I have NO earthly idea where to start troubleshooting this slowdown.
Any nudge in the right direction is appreciated!

Things that are problematic since the clover upgrade:
- Changing volume with f7 / f8 is very sluggish and responds slower than my finger. (Was always fast as lightning before Clover)
- Connecting a bluetooth logitech trackpad is slow and laggy when using it.
- Sound is sometimes static like
- Wifi takes FOREVER to refresh, a good 30-45 seconds and I usually end up opening the system preferences and specifying a network.
- All browsers are now incredibly laggy. I used to keep chrome open with about 4 windows and 60-80 tabs. It would use about 4gb of virtual memory but still be speedy as anything EVER. Now I can barely have 10 tabs open in one window without it lagging.
- I have a tiny little 60gb SSD. I used to run my system with only 3-4 gigs free. Now I'm at 10gb free and my system is still slower than molasses.
Things that I've changed recently:
- Upgraded to 10.9.5 chimera/chameleon (don't remember which)
- Re-upgraded with the clover made usb and installed clover.
- Started time machine backups on my HFS partition on the bay drive. (Have since DISABLED them to troubelshoot)
- Changed my smuuid and system definitions several times to try and fix the iMessage problem before realizing it was FUTILE. (Why is there not a disclaimer on that thread?)
- Moved several applications off the 60gb ssd to the 160gb HFS partition on the bay drive (ableton, ilife, office, steam, and Xcode)
- Created several symlinks that existed before (they were on a NTFS formatted bay drive though, but they worked fine with legit paragon ntfs for mac license.)
- Symlinks include:
- iLifeAssetManagement to get my photostream off the main drive (worked fine before)
- iPhoto Librarries (Worked fine before)
- iTunes main folder (worked fine before)
- iTunes mobilesync backup folder (worked fine before)
- ScreenFlow temp recording folder (This is new)
I think that's all the changes. As of now I have NO earthly idea where to start troubleshooting this slowdown.
Any nudge in the right direction is appreciated!
