Hi there,
I have been having some intermittent problems lately with my family's
iMac. About half the time you are using it, all the applications
(Safari, the dock, the Finder, Firefox, Textedit, DVD Player) slow
down to an abysmal crawl. Then about 45 minutes later it will function
perfectly fine.

Right there is part of your problem, most likely. 1GB RAM is far too low. I'd
kick that to 4 at least.
Well the RAM amount is possible, I know it needs more... but it has
worked great for 1.5 years until about 2 weeks ago this started. (And
will Dad want to spend $70, hmm...) This is really really really slow
- I'm talking slower than my old Sawtooth, 10.4.11 with 384 MB! Maybe

A long time ago I had a similar thing happen when a USB device went flaky.
That's possible - but the iMac is all stock HW - Apple kybd. and
mouse, and no upgrades or other USB devices. Perhaps some other
(internal) HW?
