Advice:  Chill out some before you write next time.

Anything is possible.  Very little is likely.  Conspiracy theories 
generally don't add to a person's credibility.

No, no.  Anything but your point of view would be pointless, wouldn't it?

I've found that any time there is a major slowdown, it's related to a 
rogue process hogging a lot of processor time.  Do you ever run any 
applications in Classic?  I've had Classic (the process name is 
"TrueBlueEnvironment") take off and hog a whole lot of processor time a 
couple of times when it should have been sitting relatively idle since I 
didn't have any Classic applications running at the time.  Stopping 
Classic fixed the problem.  I've generally had to force quit Classic in 
those cases because Classic was too busy to be interrupted by a normal 
shutdown.

Beyond that, 10.2.4 seems no slower than any previous version.
