One possibility is that (though you didn't say what version of Windows you were using) XP is doing a memory dump to disk due to the improper shutdown, and so the system is running slow while it does that. To check, right click my computer, go to properties, advanced, startup and recovery settings, and see what it says under system failure.
There really isn't any reason for a complete memory dump - generally just a kernel memory dump or small memory dump is sufficient.
