Every situation can be different, but from your description, the first thing I'd do is to fully check and defragment your hard drive. (Backup any/all critical files prior to this, just in case.) I use iDefrag by Coriolis Systems Limited; it was $30 on their web site < http://www.coriolis-systems.com/ >.
