I'm assuming /Preferences and ~/Preferences.

But now I wonder if simply deleting some obvious preferences  
individually would have made a difference?  com.apple.finder.plist  
comes to mind.  Also, creating a new User account and seeing if the  
slowdowns/beachballs still occurred would have at least localized the  
problem to one folder or the other.
