Hi!
A friend of mine owns a Mac Pro Early 2008. From time to time, the computer turns really slow and it takes ages to open a program or a document. But after some time it runs again at normal speed. He told me this happens when he sends the computer to sleep more than once, usually when he wakes the system up for the third time.
I ran EtreCheck and this is the report.
