bad switch?
 
Recently the pass side power window is moving slow when I use the driver side switch. If I use the pass side switch it moves a little faster. Is my switch on the driver side going bad? Bad motor? Could the tracks just be dirty and need to be cleaned and lubed?

I'd check things out in this order;
Clean and lube the regulator and the roller/channel.
Run check on the switches to insure the same voltage at both.
Run 2 test leads directly from the battery to the window motor to see if it moves faster or the same. Reverse polarity to check the motor in the other direction.
Lastly inspect the condition of the wiring in the door jambs for any breaks as they are prone to weaken and break inside the rubber boots from constant opening & closing of the doors especially the drivers side(It gets the most use.)
