My UPS(APC 500VA 
) battery finished 3 days back.but that happened when I was on archlinux and suddenly a powercut and no backup from ups 
the ext3 fs is fcuked up by the sudden switch off 
So,I fscked from Debian,and it deletes a lot of "inodes" and next I booted into archlinux,many apps are not working,sometimes hanging.
I googled archlinux thread and found how to reinstall packages
as root:
^used this as I have few "local" packages.
and everything is reinstalled.
I restarted archlinux via "shutdown -rF now" command.
F -for force fsck.
this time also fsck reported error and rebooted;weird
and next boot also fsck run automatically and verified File System.
Now,everything seems running fine and I am confident that because of I have reinstalled all packages.
Note:If u have no "custom" packages installed,u can run below command to reinstall:
^will do!
Hope it helps!

edit /etc/rc.conf to add ur eth0,lo. edit etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist as below .
archlinux wiki pretty much explains all(Remember ARCH is not n00b friendly!u have to edit using nano editor in CLI ie, "nano -w /path/to/whatever.file)
For your benefit,I have uploaded my /etc/pacman.conf for kdemod(use it if u like kde!super fast!)
here:
*pastebin.ca/969183
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist:
*pastebin.ca/969193
/etc/rc.conf (mine edit as needed):
*pastebin.ca/969190
Now am posting from system rescue cd loaded to memory!smooth and minimal(JWM).
always refer arch wiki,they have explained everything there:
*wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Main_Page
If you use broadband and like to update and install packages from Internet look here(bridge mode):
*wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PPPoE_Setup_with_pppd
installing kdemod(kde -crap/bloats) :
install other packages as needed.first familiarize with pacman.
its better in many aspect than apt+dpkg.
kdemod:
*wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDEmod
after familiarizing with archlinux,use AUR(Arch User Repository) for custom user made packages. Best of Luck!

^@abhinandh:actually I posted it in general I am experiencing this slow down on Ubuntu! haha!
archlinux is as always very fast with kdemod
if something is slowing down,it will be some network thingy,I think.
for eg:check /etc/hosts entries etc.
Installed gentoo today.it was broken due to their new release coming(2008.0),I have to manually symlink /etc/make.profile to /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2007.0
also,I had used systemrescue cd for installation
@abhinandh:why dont you post the slowdown on that thread itself?

a little tweaks here and there and disabling ipv6 did the trick.
