thats a tough one. safe mode does not load any of your startup programs. so I would look at something that is running on the machine after bootup that may be interfering. my first guess would be AV. try disabling that and see if performance imporves. then i would go down the line and just disable one after the other and test each time to see if you find a culprit.
another thing to consider is alot of drivers are not loaded in safe mode so maybe tehre is a drivers problem (video?) good luck!
