I have notice that my machine has seemed to slow down quite a bit. Would
it be recommended that I download atleast some of the of the optional
patches?

Run a Defrag & reboot when done. I had to after SP2 and SP3. Then I would
recommend the optional patches if they pertain to what is on your machine. I
often see updates for Silverlight and it's not even installed.

The system says it doesn't need a defrag.
