Either your fastram got turned off (or it is broken) or your CPU cache(s) got turned off.

Either one will drastically drop the speed of your computer.

Or maybe you removed your fastram and forgot to put it back in?

My theory is this:

You told the Mediator to add 128MB of your gfx card RAM as fastram and you gave this ram a waaaay too high priority.

This is the essentially the same thing as turning off your REAL fastram.

The gfx card RAM needs to have a very low priority.  Or at least it needs to be 1 less than your real fastram.  Go for 5 or 20 less so you don't have this problem again when you buy an accelerator card.
