YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. are still slow and taking up a lot of

RAM, 2 SATA HDDs, etc.).
I would say this is expected.
Those "big" sites will fire up so many http connections, bandwidth hogs
and JavaScript loops, that it's a wonder they run at all. Plus I hope
you don't have video autostart enabnled.
Some ways forward
1. Switch to Linux (I'd expect RAM usage to drop from around 5.9G [with
heavy paging] to around 1.9G without paging), JavaScript will be
slightly faster, but this won't fix bandwidth. Not sure Win7 is even
covered by security policy.
2. Install NoScript classic. This will block a huge amount of ad related
JavaScript and prevent a huge number of http connections.
3. Might be worth doing some system profiling, check if the CPU, RAM,
Disk I/O and Network bandwidth is really being used by the web browser,
or by something else, e.g. use Resource Manager in Win7
