Subject: IIci slowdown?

My IIci behaves strangely at times.  Every once in a while
it slows down by an order of magnitude or so.  I notice it
in several applications, so it's not just the application.
The machine gets slow enough that it won't even keep up with
fast typing; when I stop after a string of characters, it
will suddenly catch up.

Rebooting always clears this problem.  Does anyone know what's
going on, and if there's likely to be a fix (hardware fix?)
down the road?

I'm using a IIci with an internal 40Mb drive, a portrait monitor
(but not using the grey levels), 5Mb of memory, MultiFinder and
System 6.0.4.  A co-worker with the identical setup but a colour monitor
also has this happen fairly often.
