Your machine is kind of light weight for intensive publishing. I'd definitely try to boost the RAM. Also, you don't say if the files are all local or on a LAN/server somewhere, which will create another bottleneck if they have to be opened locally, which probably involves some virus checking. May be worth downloading a new version build to see if the 64 bit version gives you any speed.
