Do you have Norton AntiVirus and a firewall installed?
On ME I like setting a static swap space. Some say no more than 512MB, I like 1.5x memory (in my case 768MB).
I also like to edit system.ini and in the [VCache] section I usually set MinFileCache = 1024 * Mem (256 MB mem = 262144, 128 MB mem = 131072)
MaxFileCache=1024*mem size
then save the system.ini and reboot.
*** your performance may actually DECREASE with the above, depending on the amount of memory you have. if you have 128, try it and see, and if there is a decrease in performance, then remove or increase or decrease.
and like the links above say, setting ActiveSwapfileUseage=1 and setting SysPage=4000.
obviously I do not have anything in config.sys and autoexec.bat if I am not running legacy games and hardware.
mkae sure that all internet connection apps are not running (AOL, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, etc, soundblaster news, mcafee updater, etc).
what's running when you run TweakUI?

you did run spybot with the latest updates and adaware with the latest updates, right? I hope that you do not have kwaaza spys running.
good luck.
(but i still think it's Norton if you are running that app).

in which case it could very well be a slow USB
