If you haven't done it yet, make sure to update your internal drive to an SSD. It's about 40x faster than some of the HDs that are in some of the old Macs. 4x faster than the new Scorpio blues and blacks.
Sorry if this is off topic, but I've got the last of the 17 inch laptops with 16 GB of RAM where I mainly run 10.6.8. I simply was blown away just how slow Lion and Mountain Lion were on a 13" MBP that was a year newer (2012) and with ADD inducing animations all over the place that you can't turn off. This doesn't help the user do their job any better!
I'm really thinking about buying two of the last iMacs that can run Snow Leopard because of the implications of sandboxing and the annoying direction the UI has taken with animated everything and the new centering of text in lists (see Xcode 5 to see what I mean).
Sadly, the state of the Mac OS GUI and sandboxing post Snow Leopard and post iOS 6 makes me want to leave Apple, or at least stay on a system that actually works for me, not against me,
Whomever thought it best to animate the rollout of content within a list (NSOutlineView) and make it the default behaviour needs to be burned at the stake.
Cheers, and if you need to run the newer OSes, I run them in images within VMware. Works like a charm and I can have a fast working system (10.6.8) that lets me do my job.

My Mac (2009 Mac Mini) is operating as a Mac should. No more problems with permissions so that I cannot access my own stuff on my own Mac, no more problems with the 30" monitor refusing to display. My Mac is really fast,takes around 30 seconds to start up, just a couple of clicks of hesitation in some apps every now and again. Can use a whole bunch of apps that I had to abandon when I foolishly "upgraded" to Lion.
