I remember there being a problem with 4.5 where the response time of Eloquence was awfully slow--Eloquence at that time was stuttering quite badly and I believe this long-standing problem was fixed in version 5.

First of all, I am using version 4.5 of JAWS. Just lately! For some reason or another, I have found the response of JAWS speech to be slowing down. Not in the speed it reads, but in searching for items within various windows. This problem starts when I have been working my computer for about 30 minutes or so. The only way I can get it to read back to normal speed, is to reboot the system. For an example, when reading down the list of incoming Emails, the speech and response of pressing keys seems to take a while. I know that getting onto websites can take quite a few seconds, and is not the problem. This is beginning to drive me up the wall! Please, does anyone have any suggestions?
