[studiorecorder] there's got to be a better way than this to save files!

Hi all,
I love studio recorder, but there's 1 problem we have to solve!
Last week, I did an audio file in .wav format, and it was 173 minutes long.  
The problem was, when I saved it, it took 5 minutes to save it!
I'm using a gateway laptop, running windows xp home, and jaws 12.0.525, and 
it's a core 2 duo processor, and 2 gig of ram.
We've got to do better!  There needs to be a way to be able to save files, and 
it should not take 5 minutes to save a file.  This is why people prefer text 
files to audio files, for note taking, you name it!
Anyone have any ideas of what we can do?
I doubt I'm the only person who feels this way.
Harry
