When was the last time you ran the maintenance scripts? Try downloading and running Cocktail, Onyx or MacJanitor. Let it run the maintenance scripts, restore permissions and optimize the system. All three are available from Versiontracker.com as free downloads, try b4 you buy. OS-X requires routine maintenance to keep up its speed. I'm running entourage X on a similar setup with no problems. When my machine starts slowing down I run Onyx (my choice) and everything is back to normal.
