What software can I use to pinpoint why Windows Server 2003 takes 15 seconds for any operation?

Ram is about 1/2 in use, four CPUs are all but idle. I tried "Microsoft Server Performance Advisor" with no luck. No entries in the Event Log for hardware failures, etc.

And yet I can click on the start menu and wait 15 seconds for any new attempt. Launching software takes 30 seconds to respond.

The server has an 8 drive WD RE 250 gig each Dell Perc 6 Sata raid array with Intel gigabit network cards.

Anyone have any software titles that could analyze what is going wrong with this server?
