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
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda6 9.7G 7.3G 1.9G 80% /
/dev/hdb1 4.0G 1.3G 2.7G 32% /mnt/windows
top - 10:12:33 up 3 days, 2:03, 3 users, load average: 1.13, 1.44, 1.94

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,
