Hans could you have top running on this box. Then as it starts to slow down, grab a copy of top and post it to the group. Top will tell you what the process is that is consuming more and more memory and CPU .... kill that process if you can to restore things to normal without a reboot. Again posting top will help us in finding out what is causing your problem.
