Check the amount of space you have on your /home partition - when space gets
low the system switches from optimizing writes for 'time' to for 'space' (as
space is at a premium). This will slow your file system down, and is generally
'a bad thing'...

See how much space you've got free - and if it's getting low - free some up...
