Used time machine to restore the machine back to SL, then inserted the SL CD and used that to format the drive and reinstall SL.
Tried to restart the mac in recovery mode to format the drive and reinstall ML on the zapped drive but the recovery partition didn't work If you want to test a bit more in SL, try removing the ones in red from Etrecheck then after the safe mode test. Then if Finder settles down, we know it is a startup/login item or kext etc. That will bypass all these startup items. If Finder is still at 95%, do a safe mode boot by holding the shift key at startup. If you look in Activity Monitor is it still doing that? I wonder if you have something running now even under SL that is causing troubles. One thing I notice there is Finder is using 95% CPU.
I would remove everything on pages two and three of your PDF except the Internet plugins as those don't run until you launch a browser, so should not cause this. so I would remove them all and test, then add back. But in your case it takes literally hours to restore and test again. Ordinarily I would suggest removing a couple at a time (starting with Soundcloud I know causes crashing), and test. The problem is this will be a rough troubleshooting process because you don't know what works until you do the update, then you are in a crash loop you can't get out of to troubleshoot some more. You do have a lot of third party things running there. I would start by removing these and see if that gets you going, then you can add back one by one later. Any third party kext or startup item (that is not from Apple) is suspect.
