For some reason the last few days m y Turn of computer has taken longer to
turn off or restart. The longer the computer remains on the longer it
takes either action to accomplish.
This condition also occurs in folders. First few minutes shutdown will
occur immediately, after a while it can take as long as 50 t0 60 seconds
to shut off.

Would appreciate comments, suggestions.
