how often do you defrag the computers (once a week)
and once a month - check disk - to repair any defective sectors

There could be a number of things wrong. First things first, run a virus and spy-ware scan. Spy-ware really tends to slow down your system. Next DEFRAGMENT your system. This is crucial!! I would also recommend getting a program that will clean your Registry of any broken or invalid items as well as defrag it too. That Makes a HUGE difference. Also, uninstall any programs you don't really need, the more free space you have the smoother things will be on your hard drive. I would also run a thorough disk cleanup utility. Get rid of any Web history or browser cache too. If that doesn't work, Go to walmart and buy "Fix-It Utilities 7" for $40 and let that puppy go to town. Did WONDERS for me!
