Sometimes they are slightly slow before they die, sometimes they aren't.

Before you get a new motor.....take the door panel off and smack the motor with a hammer.......if it starts working, spray the **** out of the motor with WD-40, where its dripping off the motor. That might fix it.
Mine started sticking and stopping like 3 years ago...I did that and its still working great today.

Bout to start rainin here in Texas for the first time this year lol
You search didn't dig deep enough. The longer threads are people bitching about slow windows. Half the time, these motors die without warning. I've been through 5 and 4 of them died without warning.
Time for new ones.

Its simple to see if its electrical. Get a test light and see if you have a light when you jump the body side of the harness while pushing the window button up and down. If it lights up then the motor/regulator is toast. Always do the motor with the regulator together.
