Answer 2

Widgets, like any other applications, require memory (RAM). If your computer has less than 512 Megs, even small applications --like widgets--can make things slow down. It is possible that when you attempted to uninstall the widgets they were not removed completely. Open your task manager and look for widgets on the processes tab. If you see any, click on them and then click "end process." Things should speed up.
