I wonder if you are using Norton anti virus. Jaws 8 was sluggish for me too.
Today I got rid of Norton because I was tired of it and switched to AVG and
jaws 8 is hopin fast. Doing just fine.

Jaws 8 is sluggish in all things on my computer. It's horrible in Word,
e-mail and just moving about. I'm hoping a fix comes out soon because otherwise
I'm going back to an older version that worked better. I've never done an
upgrade when it first comes out and now I know why.
Just opening my e-mail program there is a delay. FS says they know about the
delay when opening a message and having to wait for it to read. In word using
the control and arrow keys used to be a breeze now it works like I'm going over
punctuation or a date with slashes in it.
With this new bong thing going on Jaws locks up and if I hit a keystroke too
fast my system locks up. It appears on my system that Jaws wants the focus
more than ever and if I do something a split second when Jaws is trying for the
focus I'm locked up.
It is just awful and FS has not been able to help me with any of it.

It seems that the more it grows, the less I'm able to have other projects
open simultaneously without the system becoming more and more sluggish. I
rebooted a couple of hours ago, and I'm already up to almost 25MB for JFW.
I've heard of growing, but this is a bit ridiculous.

I also tried using the jaws memory unload feature.
After restarting jaws 8 and hit the refresh key about a dozen time memory
usage went up about 3000k.
I don't no what all this means unless when jaws talks it keeps taking
more memory to do it's job.

I forwarded my problems and findings to FS, and they can't seem to
reproduce this. So I'm hoping that one or more of you might be having some of
the same symptoms as well.
I'm using the latest version of JFW 8, and when I keep repeating the
same tasks over and over again, JFW seems to keep growing in memory.
For Example:
If I start my system from a cold start and have JFW load automatically
where I'm at nothing but the desktop, and then hit CTRL-ALT-DELETE and look at
my list of processes, JFW is using 15472K of memory. How ever, if I exit out
of the Task Manager and then go right back in without doing anything else, JFW
is now using 15920K of memory. If I repeat this a third time without doing
anything else, JFW is now using 16192K of memory. After a fourth time, JFW 8
was reported to be using 16456K of memory. Again, this is without running any
other apps, or doing anything else with JFW. During a day of normal use, I've
found JFW to be taking up to as much as 60MB. of memory.
I'm also finding that if JFW is set to load on startup, then it usually
wants to use a minimum of 2% of my processor resources, but if I launch JFW via
my hot key, then it usually reports back 0% resources in use.
What got me looking into all of this, is that my system tends to want
to become a bit more sluggish as the day goes on, and I usually have to reboot
the system to correct this problem. I didn't find JFW 7.1 put as much of a
strain on my system as JFW 8 seems to do, and with a 3.4GHz. Pentium D Dual
Core processor, and 2GB. of memory, I wouldn't expect a lot of sluggishness. I
know that if I shut down JFW, then the system is a lot more responsive.
Blessings,
Brian
