Hello,
This is probably not the proper venue for this question, but I'm not
sure where it goes.
A friend of mine is experiencing problems with her iBook (G4 1ghz I
believe). It's running sluggishly in general, and Appleworks, in
particular, is troublesome.
I have deleted AW & reinstalled, no help. Did same + removed
preferences in user area, no help.
I wonder if there's a problem with the computer itself, but I'm unsure
what kind of diagnostics to perform.
Can anybody point me to a reasonable program? I imagine it may be a
harddrive problem, but the utilities that come with Panther don't seem
to think there's a problem
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
n@lex@h@nd-off.com

Try running the performance monitor application. An alternative
would be to run "top" at the command line. See what processes
are using up your RAM and CPU. A bad disk or bad network
can cause sluggishness by introducing excessive wait times
when making I/O calls.
