OK, what am I looking for?

I thought you were looking for what was causing you your problems. :-) Next
time your system "slows down" and "drags" check what is using the cpu cycles
at the time or perhaps even post details of exactly what you are doing at the
time.

looks like it is grabbing and keeping resources, by and
large system idle is above 95% but my PC is really
dragging. There are a couple of processes (Explorer.exe
and a couple of Symantec programs) that have a relatively
large number of threads, but nothing that is using a lot
of CPU time.
