In some of my test cases, using an application such as Mac OS X Cocktail or Maintenance (freeware/shareware from version tracker) will have fantastic results and increase performance due to repair on the logs, run of CRON scripts, and deleting the system level cache. Ofcourse if you have completely destroyed your software configuration, then yes a rebuild will do the trick. Hopefully you create an ASR of your system and when you are doing the rebuild rather than installing from scratch you will restore from the ASR image, cutting your install time into 1 hour as compared to a full day rebuild.

Thanks for your comments Leo. I agree 100%. Something with the MAC got corrupted and thus a rebuild was required. The same would have been true on the windows side.....

A portion of your MAC OS got corrupt somewhere and you likely replaced the bad "strings". The slowness of a windows machine is inherent to the poor design and inefficient operation of the OS and rebuilds are inevitable no matter what. My 2-year-old Dell is running so slow right now I don't even use it because I don't have the time to rebuild the damn thing.
