Have you tried running hdparm -t /dev/hda (or whatever our harddisk is that the web files sit on)? You could have a disk that is getting slower and slower as it's dying. df -h is a good thing to look for as well, make sure your log files aren't filling up. And lastly, try to copy a file via scp or ftp or nfs, and see if it's the initial connection, or traffic in general that is slow. You could have a failing network card or port on the switch.
