Title: Re: Slow Speed?
Jim’s description of the “slow-down” is consistent with my symptoms.  Speaking of a lack of speed, I’m using a G3 Powerbook with OS 9.04.  Are there any effective ways to speed it up?  I’ve tried adding RAM (now at 192 MB) and it didn’t do much.  What about an accelerator card or a faster hard disk for this laptop?

>> Can anyone tell me why E-rage sometimes slows down to a crawl?  

In the past, when this has happened to me, I've
verified that no scripts were running, (I only have a couple of rules tied
to scripts and they rarely fire, but I disabled them as well) quit all
applications, restarted just Entourage and the problem persisted. It seems
that once it starts doing it, only a restart of the entire machine clears
it. I do see the temporary *normal* slowdowns when a digest is bursting or a
script is running but the problem Mac Carter was talking about is different,
it slows down the whole app and makes typing, even as slow as I am, very
frustrating and it persists until restart.
 
It happens here on a 7600 with a 400mhz G3 upgrade and an UltraWide-SCSI
hard disk as well as on a Rev  A iMac, neither of which would set speed
records but Entourage's operations are normally very zippy on each.
