I'm getting a lot of spinning beach balls on my iMac. Is there anything I can do to stop this?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

1. You may be running too many applications at once. Make sure to close any applications that you aren't currently using in order to free up more processing speed.
2. You may be running out of free disk space or not have enough RAM. Check how much space you have left on your hard drive and delete anything that is superfluous or that you have somewhere else.
If you are getting the spinning wheel for to other reasons, this article has some good troubleshooting tips for solutions:

M$Does this happen when you're connected to the internet? Try turning off your wifi connection / unplugging ethernet. Still a problem?
Try unplugging any external devices (HDDs, printers, etc). Does this resolve the problem? If so, plug them back in one at at time to figure out which one is at fault.
Open the Console application and review the All Messages section. Do you see anything that might indicate a problem at the time the beach ball appeared?
