Okay, I might have found the problem.

I think it may have to do with search indexer, and that I have a MS wirless
USB mouse and a external USB hard drive that I use for backups.

When I use the safely remove Hardware in the system tray and disconnect the
USB drive then the performance is back to normal again. My guess on this
(being a layman) is that with search indexer doing it's thing or maybe just
vista doing it's thing, and both a USB external hard drive and a mouse on
the USB port it makes the mouse really sluggish towards registering whenever
I click on a task (such as deleting an email in the inbox).

So maybe I need to just go out and get another SATA internal drive to
replace the USB drive to avoid this.

Unless of course someone else has some suggestions if what Im theorizing is
correct or not.
