Images with thin horizontal lines, like brick mortar on buildings can play havoc with fields. Computer monitors also cant handle fields well like TV sets.
If your target is a computer monitor (web or local playback) then the video should be deinterlaced and not have fields. This occurs automatically during export to Windows Media Video and H264, but not to some Microsoft AVI codecs. -
800×600 uncompressed should create some humongous files. A bottle neck is possible. Do a test; create a SD project with pics or footage and render Mpeg2 DVD files. How does your CPU perform?

You have a HDV Project/sequence and your video is SD. By default “Scale to frame size” is turned on and stretching your SD footage to fill the screen. The pixel aspect ratio of your sequence is 1.3 and your source is .9.
Put your SD footage in a DV preset sequence (CS4) or a DV Project (CS3). -
Is Premiere using all 4 cores? Are you rendering preview files or exporting?

Where are you previewing? Premiere’s Program window, DVD on a TV or a media player?

What is the resolution of your source footage? What is your Project settings, specifically resolution?
Typically the Program window is set to display at Automatic Quality, but there is a Draft setting. The window is also set to “Fit” your video in the window, Scaling (up or down) images and video to preview on a PC screen will induce aberrations and artifacts. How does the video look at 100%? -
Squashed vertically or horizontally? Are you previewing on a TV via DVD? What version of Premiere? What are your Project settings for resolution and pixel aspect ratio?
What are your export settings for resolution and pixel aspect ratio? -
For testing purposes, does your motherboard have a sound card? Turn off your SB card in Device Manager. You may need to enable the on-board audio in the BIOS if it is not listed in Device Manager.

An alternate method would be to right/click on the clip in the Project Window and choose Interpret Footage and change the frame rate to half.
