Did your mini come with Leopard installed, or did it have Tiger and you subsequently updated? If the latter, did you perform a default 'upgrade' install of Leopard or a complete erase and install. The reason for asking is that at the outset, there were a number of users who used the default upgrade to leopard and who subsequently found issues with their systems, much along the lunes of those you describe. In those instances, backing up data and then performing an erase and install of Leopard resolved almost all problems.
What applications do you have installed? Which do you use regularly? How many apps are you typically running at a time? How much free space do you have on your startup drive?
Of note, typically there is no reason to strip PPC binaries from applications - in all but a rare few instances, universal apps run on Intel hardware will only fire up Intel processes (though this can be checked by looking in Activity Monitor for a little peace of mind).
It's also possible for problematic fonts to cause poor system performance and instabilities - you can check for these and resolve duplicate fonts which are often caused by software installing their own libraries, using the Font Book (in Applications).
You might also find issues with Disk permissions or out of date prebinding, along with possible caching problems are capable of causing the set of broad issues you outline. It would do no harm to download a copy of a general maintenance utility such as YASU ( http://jimmitchelldesign.com/projects/yasu/) and running it with all tasks checked. Don't have any other application open or the system n use for anything else while using this kind of utility, and let the system restart after completion of the tasks. This will clear a number of potential problems, and while the system will reboot much more slowly than usual, and run sluggishly at first, it will generally perform a little better after that. YASU (and the other utilities of this type) are not for regular use however, so one pass is enough!

The Rails guys say that enabling debug will slow down really complicated apps, but this was just a simple tutorial app with literally 1 model/controller/view. Anyways, I hope these performance gains last, but it does solve my immediate problem. There are other issues that can slow your Mac's performance. Stuff like random login items, running out of hard drive space, or old apps you no longer use can impact performance. There are other issues that can slow your Mac's performance.

1.1 Steps for optimizing a Rails app. There are only two reasons why Rails application might be slow: Ruby and Rails are used where other tool might be a much better choice. Too much memory is consumed and hence garbage collection takes too long. Rails is a nice framework, and Ruby is. This will take about 30 minutes. We will be setting up a Ruby on Rails development environment on macOS 10.14 Mojave. Older versions of OS X are mostly compatible so follow along as far as you can and then Google search for any problems you run into.
