Anyway, what steps have you taken to correct this problem? *just so we're not all here telling you the same thing over and over again...*
The registry fills up with too much grabage(links that lead to to know where)

The usual spyware and virus cleaning never really sped up system anymore.

Its was only when after cleaning the registry and doing heavy defraging using Diskeeper 10 ( trial version) that I really started noticing a difference.
Only thing better is a full reinstall. I haven't had any problems with these two programs I am using right now. CCleaner seems to be the less intrusive ones(finds fewer problems than the abexo one)

How much RAM are you running?

If it was a sudden drop in performance then it could be something more serious...

Only after heavy defraging did I notice a drop in the amount of suttering in Battlefield 2.
