Hi Dan,

Same here. I reported I sometimes got the same problem.... But such  
slowness doesn't occur very often (I have experienced it 2-3 times  
since I use Revolution, that is a year or so). Slowness is usually  
highly correlated with (1) the number of days my computer has been on  
( I am one of those who doesn't switch of her computer overnight) and  
(2) the number of times I have run a program in which I made a stupid  
error which caused some perpetual looping, with ctl-. required to  
interrupt it. And yes, other programs get slow as well.
