I am currently using Leopard 10.5.2 on my MacBook Pro 2.33GHz and 2
gigs of memory...
Since installing Leopard, i noticed that the first action i do, be it
check mail, open Safari, or start iTunes, or whatever, the computer
seems to take forever to run...
After that it runs just fine...
Is it just me??

I noticed a couple of times that restarts might take 5 minutes to get
the dock visible, but power ups only take seconds. I don't think
there were any installs being done.

The "first thing you do" after what? Installing it? Rebooting the
machine? Waking it up?
Install the widget "istat pro" and while the machine is lagging see
which program is hogging all the cpu.

I'm talking about when I boot up or rebooting...
Thanks for the suggestion of the widget, I'll give it a try...

No it's not just you. I have a 2.16 MBP with 2GB ram. I only shut it
down once per week, rest of the time it is put to sleep.
It takes forever when booting from cold.
The biggest 'hog' processes during boot seem to be mds and mdworker.
When they have stopped doing whatever they do, the machine is fine.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take.....
but by the moments that take our breath away.

Those are the metadata processes that collect the information for
Spotlight/Find, making sure that the information is up-to-date.
