I experienced something similar when I initially upgraded my Ti 500 
to Tiger; unfortunately, I can't recall all of the steps I took to 
get it back to normal, but here is what I do recall:

- re-ran disk permission repair several times (of course this is done 
before and after upgrade routinely)
- used MacJanitor to clean up unix files.
- ran "update_prebinding" from terminal (while this is fairly 
automatic function of OSX, I have found this manual application to 
sometimes have positive results.
- I also manually deleted some cache files from /Library/Caches and 
~User/Library/Caches (this requires some care and always a restart, 
but my system was so slow at the time that I was thinking a clean 
install may be required anyway)

I did get my system running normally without a re-install; this was 
prior to 10.4.3, but I installed all software updates at the time. 
Sorry about the somewhat vague solution, but perhaps some solutions 
from others will provide more definitive solutions.
