We fully agree with Mike H's follow-up.

A quickly-done check is whether the hard disc activity LED is busy, as 
that may well indicate that lots of processor power is being used up, 
maybe elsewhere.

Try the dreaded <Ctrl-Alt-Delete>, select the Processes tab and see 
what the bottom line ('System Idle Process'I is saying. If anything 
less than around 98% in the CPU column, have a shufti further up the 
column (including VirtualRPC) to see where the oomph is going. It 
might well pin down the culprit, e.g. your anti-virus prog.

HTH,
