That's hardly a full spec for anyone to draw any conclusions from. Lots of open questions: What CPU? How old is the machine? Who makes it? Disk capacity? Is the disk full? Windows? Mac? Linux? Do you have a load of junk installed on it?
You see, there's lots of reasons why a machine runs slow. I recommend investigating what the bottleneck is. What resource have you saturated while running all your stuff.

They don't help network issues though. If I make the mistake of saving files to a network share things slow down a lot, particularly checking out from repositories.
