Time consuming Practice

Well if your arpeggios are choppy the last thing you'll want to do is speed up, they'll sound terible. When I start practicing every time I usually play through 4/5 of the common shapes in a few positions on the fretboard very slowly a few times to get my fingers warmed up for the movement and to make sure every note is clear and even. Then I start speeding them up a little and start putting shapes together. The speed comes with comfort so it'll take a while. If you've been able to do it well before, I'd say you just need to keep practicing and your chops will come back in a while.
Play along with the metronome and also make a few backing tracks to play along with, its less boring than the metronome and also helps develop the technique musically. I've used powertab to make some backing tracks before, its dead easy.
