My number one maintenance item I do when helping a long-time Mac user is have them clean up their desktop.
It can be a dramatic and instant speed boost.
He has over 120GB on his desktop. It's a good bet that moving all of that stuff to his document folder would help.

Umm, his desktop folder IS his document folder - the two are identical in size. Also his Applications folder has over 90 GB in it. Go check your own App folder and see how large it is.

That DOES seem a bit excessive.
