After running the Backtrack 4 image, I found the image to be running really very slow on my Vista box with Workstation 6.5. After digging around, I found that this is because of the aRtsd daemon using 80% of the CPU. Rtsd is the sound server daemon. So to fix this problem, you can either kill the daemon or turn it off. See below on how-to-do:
To kill the process
kill -9
To turn of the service
KDE -> System->Settings->Sound & Multimedia -> Sound System -> Uncheck [Enable the sound system]
