It seems like the natural step to the question of slowness. In general it's usually one or more of 1) CPU, 2) Disk activity 3) Memory exhaustion (common) or 4) Network slowness or excessive network access.Now I'm really confused.So after a reboot--still fast. This is after a month or so of slowness. But I didn't change anything about my configuration!
cygwin was very slow -- then I killed Dropbox, and it sped back up. But after a while it reverted to slow again (without Dropbox restarting). I've repeated this behavior with a few other tasks--same thing happened with Google Desktop and Skydrive. I'm not sure it actually matters which task I kill -- but killing them will speed things up for a bit and then it seems to revert to very slow again, even if the tasks aren't restarted.
Can anyone offer a way to narrow/isolate the cause here? Is the above behavior consistent with any hypothesis?
