This is exactly the same problem I'm having. It appears to slow down as much as 50%. I thought it was just lately but it may have been going on for months.
Although this morning it didn't seem to be a problem. It might be only at night when there are more wireless networks on. I will try again early tomorrow.
If you just want to keep your neigbors from surfing but still want to avoid the speed reductions, I suggest simply not broadcasting your SSID or using the MAC address filter... although this is nowhere as secure as WPA... it's almost as secure as WEP considering how easy it is to hack a wireles network with the tools typical war-drivers / light hackers use.
If a client is associated with the wireless network, intruders can see their MAC address and spoof it easily. Just some food for thought. There is more info on wireless security available here: http://www.speedguide.net/articles/how-to-crack-wep-and-wpa-wireless-networks-2724
