    Depends what your limit is really.
    Firstly look at upgrading the RAM on your system €40 (crucial.co.uk)
    Install Onyx software and run a maintenance check on it.
    Upgrade to Mountain Lion if you haven't already, it’s pretty quick


    The biggest thing you could do is install an SSD to replace the hard drive in your machine. You are talking €300 for that but it’ll have amazing speed.
