Mysterious System Slowdown

First off, you've presented us with the old "locked-room" mystery.

"Herb" doesn't want to do either of the two most necessary solutions for more speed; he doesn't want to spend the money for an SSD drive and/or more RAM, so to my mind, there's absolutely no solution to his problem.

The only "solution" I see is that he speed up his purchase of the new laptop.
