I have an iMac (running Leopard) going deadly slow, I discarded any hardware problems (Hardware tests, disk utility, etc..) and the only strange thing I've found is a folder called 'akamai'
After searching on the web, apparently it's not a bug aor virus, it's just a download manager but for some reason, in some cases it seems it doesn't install properly and creates an error that provokes this problems (I'm not sure but I think it's because it is copying some log on an infinite loop or something similar)
See the following post on Apple support pages: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17622495#17622495 So aparently there is many people having problems with this, I'm not sure if this is causing mine as well but the question is that there is no way to remove that folder. How can I know if this folder is slowing my Mac?
