I too am using Jaws 8.

I experience this "sluggishness" with alt-tab when moving between
applications, but only if I have many applications open.

Subject: Jaws 8 slow on Alt Tab change?


I've just installed Jaws 8 (the latest version from the FS site) and have
been running through the various settings in the Jaws window and the
Configuration Manager to familiarize myself with the new items and set a
couple of things. So far, everything is working all right, but one thing
strikes me oddly: When I have several applications open at once, as I do
now, and I cycle among them with the Alt Tab command, there's a
millisecond's hesitation before Jaws announces the application I've moved
into. Jaws 7 just snaps from one window or application to the next with that
command, without any hesitation or intervening silence. Is this sluggishness
common to everyone's copies of Jaws 8? It's kind of clunky.

thanks.
