Extremely Slow Processing

[Scott Coppen]

Try rebooting off of a floppy (tomsrtbt) and see how that works.  If 
processing is at normal speed, I'm betting there is a persistant 
message that is getting printed over and over again to 
/var/log/messages (this is what happened to me when I experienced 
similiar behavior).  Tom's boot disk should have ext2 and ext3 
available, so you should be able to mount you root partition and 
investigate what is going on.

Hope this helps,
