[jaws-uk] Odd speech behaviour with JFW 8.0

Hi,
Since installing JFW 8.0 I have experienced a strange pattern of
behaviour in respect of its operational speaking rate. Since I run more
than one screen-reader on the computer all are set to be manually loaded
as and when I require to use them. The sequence of events is that:
(1) JAWS loads at the speed I am accustomed to see it do so
(2) When loading is complete it announces its presence at its normal
speaking rate.
(3) As soon as I press any key I lose all track of speech and it can
take a varying amount of time (sometimes as much as 90 seconds) for it
to respond with the appropriate audio feedback - this is particularly
noticeable when using the Tab key in dialogue boxes.
(4) Minimising to the desktop and/or redrawing the screen have no
effect upon this behaviour whatsoever.
(5) Some improvement is noticeable whilst navigating within the JAWS
window.
(6) As soon as I select 'exit' (either whilst in the JAWS window or
accessing the JAWS icon from within the System Tray) speech returns to
its normal rate!
Its no joking matter but I can't help but grin just a little as it seems
as though JAWS is in one hell of a hurry to stop running; a trait I have
until now never observed, nor thought to observe, in all the years I
have been using it!
Can anyone shed any light on what is going on? I have done all the
obvious things and can identify nothing in the settings that seems to
account for this behaviour. I have even uninstalled JAWS twice and
re-installed from scratch but without any improvement in its
performance.
Hope someone can help...
