My first guess would suggest your motor is taking a you know what. Does it or has it ever made a funny noise before this happened? Also in case you have factory alarm, hold down unlock button and see if they both go down at same time. I think doing this takes the door switch out of play.

Maybe you need to clean/lubricate the channels that the window travels up and down. Here is a faq from Steve Scutchen's website about slow power windows:
http://web2.airmail.net/scutchen/max_faq/index.htm

"Q: On my Maxima, the power windows are very slow going up. Is there any way to speed them up?

A: One suggestion I've seen on the Maxima mailing list is:

This is a common problem on a lot of Nissans. Simply lubricate the window channel and other areas around the channel where the window contacts with *dry* silicone lubricant. It is a spray lubricant that can be found at most hardware stores and home improvement centers. It may leave a whitish stain on black rubber parts--simply rub gently with a rag and it will dissapear. Don't use "wet" lubricants (i.e., WD40) because the petroleum carrier may damage the rubber gaskets/seals around the window. The dry lubricant dry in seconds and leaves a silcone residue that provides the lubrication.

While yet another opinion reads:

The product I used is made by Elmers/Borden, "Slide All - with Teflon", I bought mine at an Ace hardware store. I wanted to use this Teflon spray because over on the IZCC list there were people complaining about the silicone spray damaging their paint! It is a small white can with an orange top. Stock # E450. This stuff is great, I use it for lots of other OT items."

Alarm same, Door slower

This would lead me to beleive that the switch on the door probably has bad or dirty contacts cause the remote brings them down at the same time. I don,t suppose you might have spilled something on their that would have caused this?
