Gone away from the time machine theory. The disk checked out OK and even if I switch Time Machine off, the problem still occurs.
Strangely though, Disk Utility reports no problems on my main hard drive. Seems like it should have come up with something if the disk was going bad. The problem has worsened to the point where, once it occurs, everything works extremely slowly, applications won't fully quit, and if I shut the computer down from the Apple Menu, I end up on the login screen and have to shutdown from there or even physically power off. The death of a drive is never pleasant - I'll probably scatter its ashes over the rose garden.
