Try disabling DCOM support :
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;825750

"Warning If you disable DCOM, may you may lose operating system functionality. After you disable support for DCOM, the following may result:• Any COM objects that can be started remotely may not function correctly.
• The local COM+ snap-in will not be able to connect to remote servers to enumerate their COM+ catalog.
• Certificate auto-enrollment may not function correctly.
• Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) queries against remote servers may not function correctly. "

I hope you do not need any of these functionalities.

You can use the freeware dcombulator to get rid of dcom 1003 event  http://www.grc.com/dcom/
I don't think the slow down is related to dcom. Do you scan your windows to sure that it is free of spyware and adware?
