Install nmon.
Start nmon and type:
mct
That will show you processes, memory and CPU usage.
The box is probably doing a lot of 'Waiting' created because of a bunch of 
IO when swapping.

Cure?
Buy more memory...
YMMV...
ET 

PS: You can also use lsof to identify what resources are being tied up by 
which processes.  Problem is that you may not be able to run lsof because 
the box is unresponsive.
Yo may need to resort to SNMP.

what a drag! Things are slowing to a crawl! For instance, it takes 5
seconds for Caja to open. Then it takes 3 seconds to open a folder in the
side panel. That isn't actually that bad but when I click the Menu button
sometimes it can take up to fifteen seconds for the list to load. Any ideas
as to why it is being such a drag?

Kind of sounds like disk responsiveness. What does your overall system load
look like? Are you swapping frequently?

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
