Have you gone through settings and disabled unnecessary effects, indexing and such? With default settings it can get quite slow but with some small changes it becomes very snappy.

I have not, but also it's not slow immediately, it takes time under use to get slow. Fresh boot is quite fast. And then once it's slow, even if I close my IDE, browsers and everything, it remains slow, even if CPU usage is really low and there's theoretically plenty of memory that could be freed easily.

Have you tried disabling all local Trojans and seeing if that helps?
