It was fine for a week, then suddenly it became incredibly slow (15 minutes to perform a simple operation), but without either CPU or RAM maxing out (it reports a rather oddball 2.5GB). Tech associates (the sort who would charge to do any more) said they'd suspect the HDD, but moving 4GB of music from one partition to another ran relatively fast.
