My girlfriends Macbook (Core Duo 1.83Ghz 2GB RAM, 120GB HD, Leopard 10.5.7 and all updates) has been running a little slow recently and have been looking at it to figure out why.
I went into Disk Utility and ran a Repair Permissions. After about 4 mins of running that, it kicks up a lot of errors, mainly referring to incorrect permissions on some files in System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreMediaIOServicesPrivate.Framework/, System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app, Quicktime Player.app Quicktime preference pane, and iPhotoAccess.framework folders.
Repair did nothing, also tried it running off the Leopard install DVD. I've done a disk verify and that came up clean.
I am wondering whether I need to worry about this, and if so, what could people suggest to help? I have AppleCare on my machine so have the TechTool Pro DVD. Is that any good?
Should I just do an Archive and Install?
Thoughts welcome as always

Do the errors look like these?

They can be ignored.
If you do use Techtool check there haven't been any updates to it.
Apple shipped a version with 10.4 macs that completely borked a 10.5
boot disk if you turned on all the tests / repair actions. Disk
warrior was the only way to fix for me. You could try the Apple
hardware test (boot instructions are written on the install DVD), it
may be built in to the mac's EFI firmware too. Chances are it won't
report much, but it could.
Don't forget the maintenance tasks -> ($ sudo periodic daily weekly
monthly) should run them all or use Onxy or Tinkertool etc…

Yes they do! Nice work Reco
Safely ignoring.
Any other tips? Doing a rebuild on iPhoto cos that seems to go mental on the fans and CPU. Gonna run the cron jobs with onyx now. Think its probably just overstressed. Poor core duo.

Keep it cool :)
I'm wondering how many people are noticing slowdowns at the moment due
to heat or impatience brought on by overheating users. Probably
wouldn't hurt to dust any bits you can access.
