Paul, Maybe a place to start...Do you have any anti-virus installed? If so, have you done a scan lately. You could also download and install Ad-aware and Spybot-Search & Destroy. Run those programs and they might find processes running in the background that could be slowing you down. Defragging the HD wouldn't be out of the question either.
