SoSometimes depending on how much ram you have to run programs on your computer Jaws for windows tends to run slowly.

Not a resource issue? Have you checked ALL potential resource bottlenecks? 
Have you not seen the JAWS processes gradually consuming more (or less)
memory or CPU utilization or thread counts or IO operations the longer they 
run?  How about other processes on your machine?  Use task manager in the
processes tab to see this information.  The presence of running JAWS
processes can affect other, seemingly unrelated processes too.

Subject: Jaws running sluggishly

This is a problem which started with, I believe, jaws v.8 and is still
hounding me in the 10 beta. I've taken it to FS tech support to no avail.
When I type a message in Outlook and to a much lesser degree in MS Word,
jaws gradually starts to become very slow. To be more precise, the echo
starts falling behind my typing. As time goes on jaws gets slower and
slower. My typing gets to be a sentence ahead of the jaws echo. No, I'm
not a fast typist. Also the cursor gets sluggish. If I stop to review what
I have written, and do a control-home, it takes the cursor forever to get to 
the top of the document and arrows down very slowly at first to read the
text. After a couple of lines, it wakes up and responds normally. This
problem has been plaguing me for years, and I've consulted with tech support 
on many occasions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's not a
resource issue.
