Rpm is revolutions per minute not rounds. Though English doesn't seem like your first language, am I right?

I just say rounds per minute, makes more sense in my brain and i started off saying that... I believe it means the same, for me :P

have you tried running an antivirus lately? viruses quite commonly will slow down your computer. if that wont work then you prolly need to upgrade your ram. computers also generally slow over time due to updates to windows and adding more programs to the computer.
