sporatic delays every so often

Hello, I manage mac network at my office and we just set up one of the new dual 1ghz g4's. I installed all our software and everything seems to work well, but there seems to be delays every so often. Like when I go to drag something it takes much longer to start the drag then it should. I also redid another one of our G4's and it is having the same problem. While my computer, after about an hour of sitting it has major delays and I just rebuilt this system. (it was having the same problems before I reinstalled the os). Like if when I type it shows like a character every second. So I have to wait for it to catch up, or reboot. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this? Perhaps a worm or virus? I'm not very mac savy, but I've found my way around.

Quark looks on the network for its own serial number. So does Illustrator, IIRC, and I think Photoshop does too. Any of those could be slowing things down somewhat.
If you boot with extensions off, does the problem go away?
