If its running 4 GB of ram, i dont think you would notice  Also, Vista would have auto set the page file to around 6Gb (If reading all 4 GB's of Ram) which is just unessecary.
This may be what is slowing down the HDD, opening programs etc. If you can provide some info stating don't turn it off then i'll take my comment back, however havent ever had a problem

Don't suppose he has itunes installed by any chance?. The g/f's sister had the strangest issue where an itunes version would feck up the dvd rewritter and cause it not to be seen in windows or detected. Removing Itunes and getting a much later version fixed it
