Kind of sounds like disk responsiveness. What does your overall system load look like? Are you swapping frequently?

what a drag! Things are slowing to a crawl! For instance, it takes 5 seconds for Caja to open. Then it takes 3 seconds to open a folder in the side panel. That isn't actually that bad but when I click the Menu button sometimes it can take up to fifteen seconds for the list to load. Any ideas as to why it is being such a drag?
