I have discovered the cause of a bug that will severely slow down and even crash OOTP 2007 if you leave the game open and idle overnight and have Norton Anti-Virus set to automatically update definitions or do a disk scan.

It was posted as a TT and Markus says it won't be possible to patch this year, apparently because the problem is with NAV and not OOTP.

If you encounter this problem, simply close and restart your game. Everything should go back to normal.

It took me several builds to finally figure out what was causing this problem.
