so i installed Tiger when i first came out. since then my Mac has developed a speed problem - it seems to have slowed down alot. so i subsequently found out that i should have backed up my stuff and then freshly installed the OS.

so i want to do that now. does anyone have any tips or suggestions before i go and so that?

i have OSX, but its started to run a little slower. I googled my problem and found these options:

CACHE: Empty the Safari Cache by clicking on Sarari menu and select empty cache.

HISTORY: Clear the browser History

ICONS: Delete the icons directory from /user name/library/safari. The small icons known as favicons that load in the URL field will no longer be cached.

COOKIES: Delete site specific cookies by going to Safari>Preferences, clicking the security tab, select Show Cookies. Remove cookies to sites you are having problems with.

JAVA CACHES: Delete your java cashes. Java 1.4.2 plugin settings in /Applications/Utilities/Java. Click the cache tab, click clear. Repeat the process for Java 1.3.1 Plugin settings (also located inthe same place)

RESET: Reset Safari from the safari menu. This clears history, empties cache, clears the downloads window, and removes all cookies. It also removes any saved user names or passwords and other auto fill in data.

Each operating system is different so it might help and might not. It seems to help mine.

Maybe you need more RAM? Just a guess.

Are you up to date with your OS? 10.4.3?
