   If the three-finger salute isn't coming up and neither do those programs   
   than you can bet your life on it that script won't run either.

   And that shows you that it won't be easy to find out which program/process   
   causes the slow-down: You either can't run anything (including your batch   
   script), or you can but than the processes causing the slow-down are not   
   running (duh) and you therefore can't find them.   
      
   Yup, a classic catch-22 :-)
