I'm not an expert in a lot of these specific servers, but my strategy 
would be to try them one at a time, use a process viewer like 'top', 
and see where and when the bottleneck occurs. Once you've identified 
the problematic service - then a detailed look at the configuration 
of that service would make sense. You've got a pretty zippy server 
there, I don't see why things would slow down so much. Are you also 
running X?
