All computers have the potential for slowdown as they age because 2 things naturally happen: cooling systems clog with dust and thermal paste degrades. Both of these eventually reduce the efficiency of the cooling system, resulting in higher CPU temps. Unchecked, this can result in CPU throttling by the hardware itself.
