[AccessD] Slow Running Access 2007 Application – Dumb Question

And for a complete test:  Install and start all the apps and processes the slow machine is running, on the other machines - and see if that slows them down... just as much feedback from the testing, but a lot more fun.

Ha ha, it is to laugh.

Well, the disks do develop bad sectors, and memory chips can begin to falter, and the fragmentation and amount of storage used can affect the performance. However, when you see unknown processes running, you need to rule those out as well.  If other applications run slow on the machine, there's definitely something to be tracked down.  In short, it may not be any single thing, so it takes a lot of digging.
