I used Onyx to clean the slow account but no luck
How can I solve the issue ?

Could you compare the ps -ax results in terminal of both accounts?
Can you describe what sorts of things are slow?
You might check to see if there are any hidden items opening on login to the slow account. Do this by going to the Accounts system preference pane when logged in under the slow account. Click on the account name on the left, then click "Login Items" on the right.
You could also open up Activity Monitor (in the Utilities folder) and see if there are processes running when that account is active that are not running when the fast account is active.

Whoops - just noticed that I've nearly exactly repeated what Strung said! Sorry about that.
Great minds think alike!
