About all that an old mouse would affect is the performance of the mouse. If the mouse cursor is hard to control or is jerky when you move it, it may be the mouse. If it is just slow, or hangs for a long time before reacting to a mouse click, it is probably not the mouse.
If your PC has slowed way down, try the following:
1) Check for spyware. Run both Ad-aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and Skybot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) to remove any spyware. Run both as one may caught something the other missing. Then go to microsoft.com and download Defender to protect against future infections.
2) Check that you have at least 10% of your hard drive free. Go to My Computer and right click on the Local Drive (C:). Look at the properties. If it has less that 10% free space, you will need to delete some files, or move them off the hard drive and on to a CD or DVD. Start by running the disk cleanup, which will remove temporary and other unneeded files. Go to Start, then All Programs, then System Tools and click the Disk Cleanup icon.
3) Run the msconfig utility. Go to Start, then Run and type in: msconfig
Go to the startup tab
You will see a list of all the programs that are loaded when your computer starts up. Uncheck any that you do not have to have. (Usually you can uncheck them all). If you decide you to need one, you can go back and recheck it.
4) Defrag the hadr drive. Go into My Computer and right click on the Local Drive (C:). Select Properties and go into the Tools tab. Click the Defragment Now button to start the defrag program. If you have not defrag recently (or never) it may take several hours for the program to complete.
Hopefully those will speed up your computer. Doubt that changing the mouse will.

a new mouse will not improve the performance of a computer. Try finding a software program to clean old files out of your system. Also do a spyware check for any spyware and get rid of that. That can also drastically slow your system.

NOT AT ALL.
Mouse is not related with system performance. as it is just a input device.
