I bet there's some kind of background process running that is slowing things down. Open up your task manager, go to processes and see if there's anything unusual in there. Could be spyware, could be a hung service of sorts, could be lots of things.
There are also some performance test utilities on the market that are free which you can run and see where the problem might be. Other than that, just back everything up, format and do a fresh install. Your partition sizes seem fine...I'm running with only about 200mb open on c: right now because I'm a PC Pack Rat. Time to clean up anyway. What I did after my last fresh install of OS, updates, apps...etc, was just ghost the whole c:\ drive so when times like this come up...I just format and load that image so everything is installed and ready to go.
