This machine has a gb of RAM. I know that's not a great deal by today's
standards but I never had this with pc's which had less. Also, I'm using
the same computer, a Dell, at work. It only has 512mb and doesn't give me
the same problem, and it is running more programs, often open at the same
time.

Certainly the amount of RAM also affect this.
It's this gradual slowdown in JAWS responsiveness that's intriguing. It
seems like there could be a memory or handle or thread leak somewhere.
Can't know for sure unless we observe the performance monitor when JAWS is
running fast, and then observe it again after things slow down, and then
compare the differences in resource allocation. That might clue us in as
to
where the problem might be.
But having too little RAM in the computer could make this slowdown happen
more quickly and to a higher degree.

SoSometimes depending on how much ram you have to run programs on your
computer Jaws for windows tends to run slowly.

Not a resource issue? Have you checked ALL potential resource
bottlenecks?
Have you not seen the JAWS processes gradually consuming more (or less)
memory or CPU utilization or thread counts or IO operations the longer
they
run? How about other processes on your machine? Use task manager in the
processes tab to see this information. The presence of running JAWS
processes can affect other, seemingly unrelated processes too.

Subject: Jaws running sluggishly
This is a problem which started with, I believe, jaws v.8 and is still
hounding me in the 10 beta. I've taken it to FS tech support to no avail.
When I type a message in Outlook and to a much lesser degree in MS Word,
jaws gradually starts to become very slow. To be more precise, the echo
starts falling behind my typing. As time goes on jaws gets slower and
slower. My typing gets to be a sentence ahead of the jaws echo. No, I'm
not a fast typist. Also the cursor gets sluggish. If I stop to review
what
I have written, and do a control-home, it takes the cursor forever to get
to
the top of the document and arrows down very slowly at first to read the
text. After a couple of lines, it wakes up and responds normally. This
problem has been plaguing me for years, and I've consulted with tech
support
on many occasions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's not a
resource issue.
