So obviously, the first thing to do is boot an older kernel.
 
the updates don't remove older kernels, so you should have a boot
option for -20 and -19 and older kernels at boot time.
 
So I'd try the last known working kernel first, then go from there.

Thanks for the prompt reply, tried that still slow! think i fixed it by killing aplay and foobilliards (still running even though ended on gnome). all seems back to normal again!!
