This same thing has been discussed on the Bioware message boards.

Hyperdrive was discovered 20,000 years before the OT, so its safe to assume that SW people were already at a fairly high technological level.
At some point, a society is going to hit a plateau, technologically speaking. Very little is done to make technology better than it already is. Sure it may get smaller or become stronger, but its still the same technology.
I think SWU hit that point sometime probably before the KotOR time period.

Id always assumed some kind of dark age slowed down advancement sometime after Knights of the Old Republic
