Spinning wheel appears very often!

Hi!
I have a macbook 2.16mhz with 2gb ram mid 2007 model. It has started showing the spinning wheel for about 10-20 seconds for the last 3 months and it was getting worse and worse! and it came a time last week when almost every 5 clicks I was doing the wheel was appearing again!
First I thought I had a faulty ram and I ran memtest but everything was ok! then I reinstalled the system but still the problem exists not so ften though.
most of the times happens when I work on safari.
how am I gonna solve it?
what seems to be the problem software or hardware?
thanx!
 
Have you ever run any maintenance on that Mac ever? Do you own either Yasu or Onyx and run the all the cleaning routines (rebooting twice after clearing all the caches)? Running a maintenance program once in while will keep you Mac running clean and almost like new.
 
When you reinstalled the system, did you restore from a backup or does the problem also appear with a clean system? If so, it certainly seems like hardware-related problems...
