Do you have Norton Antivirus installed? I ask as it's known to seriously slow things down.
If you disconnect the ethernet cable from the machine and reboot, then run various applications do you still see the problem?

I don't have time to go into specifics here. Seen this before, and the best solution was...
Uninstall Norton (takes a while when you machine is sick)
Run Norton's uninstall cleaner, you download this from their site. This removes all the other rubbish that is still left
Then install a different virus scanner, such as NOD32.
