Been a while since I've been up close and personal with Tiger.  Had to 
upgrade my MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard to add some needed stuff a couple 
of years back.  From my experience with both OS X versions, however, it 
sounds like it's time to reformat the drive, reinstall the operating 
system and restore everything else from backup.  Just had to do that 
myself last week as a matter of fact.  It did banish the beachballs, at 
least until next time.  Too bad you don't have Time Machine to help you.
