S-L-O-W scrolling in 10.6.5

[mattwolfmatt]

I'm having an issue scrolling in all programs). Running 10.6.5, Late 2008 MBP (not uni-body). This happens when using two finger scroll or dragging the scroll bar down and up. Click (jump) to scroll is still fine.

It takes about 5-7 seconds to scroll down at all, it's like a little ripple slowly works its way down the screen. I tried shutting down programs, restarting, etc.

Any ideas? Similar experiences?

EDIT: Ok the click to scroll is now slow also. What gives?

Hmm, when I take a screenshot while it's happening, I can't get the blip to show up on the screenshot. Not sure what that means.
