Is Windows fully up to date on critical patches?
Do you have current, real-time antivirus and firewall protection?
Have you scanned for and removed all spyware?
How much RAM do you have?
What speed CPU?

is this running from the hard drive or from a cd/dvd- rom?

today we had a problem with a cd going bad and lost every part of a 600mb website....

fortunatly the server had a copy and the iso was on one of the machines, a close escape....

Check to make sure your spyware free, then defragment the hard drives. This should help things.

anti-spyware programs esspecially can be variable in performance and quality. AOL anti spyware, for example, removes very little real spyware. At least try adaware and Spbot S&D before you are positive spyware is entirely gone. Rarely is 1 spyware program enough these days. Just because you have and have run any old anti-spyware doesn't mean it's all set. Doing this and defraging should improve overal system performance.
