I had been noticing a slow down, but it also occured about the time that I upgraded to Tiger, which is the biggest step backwards in being fast I've seen for apple yet. Disabling the dashboard did help me substantially though.
Robert & others,
I too had 'slow down' issues with Tiger after installation, and that was on an iMac G5 as well. I was a few hours away from downgrading to Panther, when someone on the #textmate IRC mentioned that there could be issues with the Spotlight index on my system. Read this page [ http://macintouch.com/tiger21.html ] and the Spotlight section roughly halfway down the page. I followed that, left my computer alone for a few hours (while it was indexing) and then came back to a completely new FASTER system. Talking about it as "night vs day" does not make it justice.
Give it a try, it might help you.
Kind regards,
Mats
