Apache slow and 403

I've googled this without learning anything.

Apache 2.2.4 Fedora core 6

I have a directory with multiple subdirectories with html pages and jpgs.
They are all accessed via an index page.

A couple of weeks ago, (only) one of the pages took 15 minutes to load.
Today a second page hangs but eventually loads. Attempts to access other
pages now result in a 403 permissions error.

The files can be navigated without problems if I open them with firefox
either via the index or directly.

The hangups and 403s happen with differing browsers and from differing
sites.

Any takers please?
