I experienced this "busy busy busy" thing a while back on a new iMac running ML. Just working in the help system would freeze the system. I did a disk repair from the recovery partition as suggested and there hasn't been a problem since.

I am not experiencing these busy busy busy problems. Once in a while, a particular program will hang and go busy but in most of those cases, it is stuck doing something like trying to get new mail or like yesterday when I accidentally told the bookmarks menu to open all 47 bookmarks in separate tabs. That brought my Mac down to its knees till I killed the process. All and all, my Mac has performed pretty well even with only 2 GB of RAM.

Here's the thing, VoiceOver is kind of strange in that sense. I don't
understand why vo can't work with programs just like other screen
readers do, I mean we have 4 processor cores or 2 or even more for
something. You alt tab on the mac and it's still busy busy busy busy
because a program is doing something on the computer. I find it highly
frustrating.

You can check the hard drive space under about this mac under the menubar.
I don't have the sidebar issues.
I'm sorry.
Maybe a clean install should help.

Ok doesn't seem to be anything running that shouldn't been trying to
find out how full my hard drive is and can't believe I can't find
this. Where is it listed? also does anyone else have this problem.
When in the finder sidebar, I try to arrow down through the side bar,
and every time I get to air drop it boots me out of the side bar,
quite annoying anyway around this? I am vieing everything in list
mode. Thanks

Would love to hear if anyone has a solution to this. In the past week
every program I run is constantly busy busy busy almost making my mac
unusable. I am using an Imac 2010 running the latest mountain lion
operating system. It used to be that I just dealt with busy in safari.
Now Itunes, mail, news rack, andpages, and numbers are all having busy
busy problems. Do I need to reinstall Mt. Lion? Does anyone know if
this will correct the problem? I have tried restarting and shutting
everything down, but it still doesn't fix the busy busy problems. If
anyone has a step by step clean install, please share the link. Thanks
