Looks like the system has 2G RAM, which is marginal these days.
Swapping to a mechical
disk would be really slow if the disk is failing.
A good test of this is to check you hard drive LED light
on the front of your computer. If it is on solid or
flashing like crazy when the slow down occurs, you
are probably out of memory and swapping.
And another test is if you are on screen saver, wiggle
your mouse, and the screen recovers quickly to a point,
but then stops part way through and slowly line by
line recovers the rest of the way.
