My issues with Jaws 8 being sluggish

Hello list,
New user here. I upgraded to 8.0 and noticed the following two problems:
1. I use Eudora for e-mail and when I'm using the down arrow key to
step through the message, Jaws becomes sluggish when it has to scroll
up the screen one line to read the text. If the text is already on
the screen, it reads it just fine. Only when it has to scroll does it
effect the response to the key stroke. It's about a half second
delay. Very annoying.
2. When using Internet Explorer 7 and visiting a site that lists
classified ads, Jaws 8 will skip over several ads. These ads are
indexed with a graphic and are listed 10 to a page. I use the "G" key
to jump to the next ad as Jaws is reading. It usually misses 3 to 4 of the ads.
Neither of these conditions occur with Jaws 7 and tech support at
Freedom could not resolve these problems. I'm wondering if anyone
else has seen anything like this? I hate having to jump back and
forth between Jaws 7 and8 throughout the day.
Thanks,
--rob--
