1212812 2011-06-29 08:13:00 Ok. Fingers crossed. I might have found the solution to the problem in terms of slowdown's.

SSD's don't like defrags. I found a couple of web articles that said that to preserve the life of an SSD, they're designed to constantly shunt info around to not wear out the same old memory sectors (or words to that effect). When you defrag, the disk controller has to work much much harder to relocate needed data upset by a defrag.

After I read the articles, I realised that I'd performed a defrag just before my last bout of slowdowns. Since the defrag, my pc has gotten progressively gotten faster again.
If you're running your OS on an SSD, make sure you disable any scheduled windows or 3rd party defrag!
