I have been facing slow disk access in my system .
And any time I do any write activity and along side carry on my work.
The system becomes very unresponsive.Sometimes even changing focus
takes 3+ seconds.
Memory usage is not high neither is cpu usage.
Suspecting something to be wrong with the I/O.
Even with "old" IDE drivers (as others have suggested) you should see
better performance than what you are getting. I have experienced this
a few times; the hdd were RIP'd in a few days/weeks. The problem could
be with the IDE channel or your hdd.
Check out your hardware and replace the failing device.
