    Go to sys internals and get their process viewer which gives the cpu use and the interrupt use. Theres three numbers to look at. The cpu use on the app. The number of interrupts and DPC's and third the number of page faults.

    Also, does the slowdown get better when any network cable is unplugged ?

    Id also run memtest86 too.

    Oh yeah - ensure your backed up to a different HDD ! It might be imminently going to fail.

    Oh yeah part 2. I just remembered, Intel chips slow down drastically when they get too hot. Check that your CPU fan has not stopped turning. Get a CPU temp monitor or just run it up and touch the heatsink. If you get burnt then its too hot Seriously tho, chips run to about 100 deg C and then start slowing down so it would have to be pretty hot.
