Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Mobile Processor T2370

I was running 11.10 and things were great. Upgraded to 12.04, still fine.
But in the last two days, lots of problems:
Problems
* 5 minutes to boot to login screen
* 10-15 minutes from login screen to load desktop
* Constant system errors popping up (Apport)
* Generally slow and poorly responsive desktop environment
* Several minutes for a program to load, though once a program is finally loaded, it works fine
* General spookiness (at this login, my indicator applet on the top right never showed up)
Things I've already tried:
Login with Unity 2D (Didn't help, maybe worse than before)
Wiped hard drive and did clean install with new live CD (no change)
Checked system processes for anything tying up CPU usage (nothing obvious)
Output of some commands:
