you should have a look at your I/O disk status. try with iostat -dx 5 to see the disk utilization info over time. when it comes to slowdown on a virtual environment on a Desktop grade machine, i suspect disk I/O latency and bottleneck as a cause. check that your disk is running at its optimal state. look at some indicators , such the the I/O utilization averages, server load averages hddtemp /dev/sda will check for heating ( under high load it might ) in any case , you still got plenty of ram to spend.
