I installed the demo version of K1000 a little over two weeks ago.  Now, the 
program seems to do everything much more slowly than it did when I first 
installed it.

When on repeated scan, I have it set to delay six seconds, but most of the time 
now, I have to wait about twice that long for it to start scanning.  It used to 
say "scan complete" as soon as the scanner started going back up, but now it 
takes several seconds.  Just arrowing down from one page to the next involves 
about five or more seconds of waiting to get a response.  I had to add a blank 
page this morning, and waited approximately ten seconds to get a response.  
Search and replaces take a lot longer than they did when I first installed this 
thing.  Everything takes longer, and it is getting quite maddening.  I repeat: 
It was not like this when I first installed it.

To forestall the obvious questions:
I have not installed any other software since installing K1000.
I have not experienced any similar slowdown in any other program I use, such as 
MSWord.
Closing K1000 and restarting it does not help.
Shutting down and restarting the computer does not help.

Is this a permanent feature of the program?  It starts out zippy and turns into 
a glacier?  It would be irritating enough to have to wait more than five 
seconds to go from one page, for example, to the one immediately below it.  But 
it is much worse knowing that it wasn't that way in the beginning.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?  This is starting to drive me up a 
wall.

Thanks for any help.
