In Linux it goes in /var/log/messages unless user customize there
syslog.conf file.

    This may be a stupid question too, but have you ruled out hardware
problems? I've seen SCSI timeouts on Solaris machines caused
by a hard drive getting ready to let go cause problems like this.
Disk reads suddenly (and unpredictably) become incredibly slow as
the SCSI controller and/or drivers do a jillion or so retries to get
the data (eventually).

    In the case of Solaris, I b'lieve I saw gobs of SCSI retry
errors/warnings in /var/adm/messages when this happened.  I'm not sure
where linux logs this but it's probably the same place.
