I've been using the latest PCSX2 beta for a while now utilizing certain speedhacks and have been enjoying full speed in a lot of the games I've been playing. I took a break from playing with the emulator for a few while and I started it up today for the first time in a few weeks, and for some reason it seems to be running horribly. Even Final Fantasy X is running at pretty low speeds. I haven't changed anything though! Everything is as I left it. Does anyone have any insight to why this might be? I know I haven't provided much info but it seems like it just happened suddenly for some reason...this is disappointing.
Thanks for any help.

Have you made changes to your computer? Like installing new apps? You may have other programs running in the background and using up your resources. Antivirus is an example of something that is always active.

No, that is what's so weird. I literally have not made any changes to my computer at all. Nothing's running (I don't even have antivirus).
I am using a laptop though, do you think it overheated or something?
I have an Intel Core Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.40GHz, 4GB RAM, Vista 64bit. So it is a bit on the 'weak' side of being able to run PCSX2, but before with the speed hacks I got 100% speed in FFX and most games I tried actually. Now though...it's just horrible. I get around 30fps in most games. I wish I knew what happened.

No antivirus, eh? Perhaps a scan is in order then. Chances are high that you've been infected.

I meant vsync in the gsdx config. There was a bug once that if the game dropped below 60fps it would drop all the way to 30.

might also want to run a disk check (not a defrag) this tends to speed mine up some when it gets ugly-choppy
