Thanks to Mark (Russinovich)and you for taking a proactive approach to nipping all the wrongful speculation in the bud.

Hopefully, that is the only reason why I had been getting a sloooow response on my system which I exacebated by activating the wireless connection in addition to the dual-Gigabit NICs.
