If you run top with a refresh rate of 1 second, do you slowly see the load climbing? If you do ps ax frequently do you see processes with a status of "D"? Just trying to isolate exactly what it is that is causing the system to come to a crawl. If it's in kernel space, it could be very difficult to determine what it is that's causing it. Do you have a zip drive? If so, delete the /etc/cron.hourly/msec and /etc/cron.daily/msec links and see if the symptoms remain the same. Blue skies...
