How much memory do you have?
I advise going to black viper's (http://www.blackviper.com) site and turn off unneeded Services, only a couple at a time, and test to make certain you are not breaking the system, if you have a problem you turn the last disabled services back on and try others.
You can also run Hijack This and post a log here with symptoms and the experts can tell you what to turn off to speed it up.
