This and check for viruses that can also eat up your processing power.
I have an old Dell Celeron computer that I use as a backup with windows 7 installed in it and it's pretty zippy. I have no junk programs on it and keep it clean of viruses and with a good internet connection, it's pretty fine for surfing.
Another thing to do is to defrag your hard drive. There are some free programs that are much faster than the windows defragger.
