This is usually the result of the memory allocation (for Java) getting reset to a smaller size with the new installation. You might need to increase it from the default value. [Java only uses the amount of memory you allow it to use, so the amount in the machine doesn't directly affect it. And when memory is short, a lot of time goes into scavenging for more memory and making everything fit into not enough space. The result is extremely sluggish performance.]
