Have you upgraded to gusty? If you have, there is a couple of new programs which will take up your cpu time for a little whilst they scan through all your files to index them. 

If your computer stays slow, or if you haven't upgraded to gutsy, whilst your computer is slow, please can you open a terminal, type the command "top", and then hit the letter "q". Copy and paste what is in that window into an email.
The command "top" lets you see all the things that are running on your computer at the moment, which will let us have a quick idea if something decided to steal all your computers resources.
