It shows you at 75% of the CPU being used by User processes. Is this normal? Do you consistently see this much usage on the top? If so, it would explain the slow down. You probably have a rogue process somewhere chewing up your cpu cycles. Your space is starting to get a bit low 2g is plenty enough though to no cause the problem you are describing; I don't think. But CPU usage would definitely slog your system down.
What are your top 3 processes in top?

Still hoping for some suggestions on how to solve the subject problem.
In a recent previous message, I did reply to the only two suggestions
that I had received, which ask what my disk usage was and what 'top'
showed. Here are those answers:
$ df -h

Prior to this recent drastic slowdown, kmail used to open in 1 or 2 seconds.
Now it takes up to 30 seconds and sometimes it doesn't open at all.
A terminal shell window used to open instantaneously, and now it can
take from 10 to 15 seconds to open.
I did not make any changes in my system, so can't imagine why this
drastic slowdown has occurred.
Hope someone can offer some guidance to solve this mystery.
Thanks,
