On the original poster's machine (running Win7 and NTFS drives) defragging the machine had a giant impact and proved that it wasn't an application issue at all.

I conceded it might be a software issue. I even suggested it might be one that trips over itself the more processors you have.

So doing this resolves the slowness issues, good to know.

I have the generic video built into the Optiplex 745 which is a glorified business machine. I also run it fine on my older Optiplex SX280, which strains under flash ads on web sites and those flash games on facebook like farmtown or frontierville.
It is time for you to identify and correct the display/video setting on your machine that is causing this bottleneck. Or continue running without icons.
