    In addition to defrag, check free space on the hard drive. I think if it starts getting low it can slow down the computer. More memory can also sometimes have a big effect, depending on how much you have and how much stuff you run.

    I would also check for things that run in the background. A lot of apps want to put things in the taskbar for "quick startup". I always kill all those.
