Linux s--l--o--w--s down

[Richard Salts]

Up until about yesterday, my Linux was behaving very nicely, loading up in
record time.  Now, it seems to have slowed down quite considerably, making
the Windows loading very fast by comparison.

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but maybe somebody may
have and could they tell me what is going on?

Is there any kind of system maintenance program that Linux has that I
should be using to help things along?

Thanks for any ideas



Richard
