Can anyone tell me why E-rage sometimes slows down to a crawl? I referring to the sporadic times when the cursor slows down to about half the speed of my typing (and I’m not real fast). As I type this, it’s like a slug. I have to pause to wait for the cursor to catch up. Very frustrating. Re-starting always clears it up, but is there anything else that might be causing it that can be fixed?I know this thread was from a while back but I am having the exact same issue. I didn’t see any solutions to it from the posts I read, anyone have any success eliminating it? I’m using a G4/450DP, OS 9.2.1 with 1.12GB of RAM and have allocated about 64MB to entourage, but I don’t think this is a memory issue. Does anyone have the email address for entourage support?

Try switching it off. If it helps throw away the Custom Dictionary and generate a new one.

I tried this when it was first suggested. It did seem to help with the typing slowness for a short time but the slowness comes back. Also the slowness affects everything including scrolling windows, moving through email with the spacebar, selecting folders, just about anything and everything to do with the program. When it gets too annoying I reboot and start again, it may remain quick for minutes, hours, even days and then the slowness returns. When I brought this up a while back I thought I had it licked by upgrading URL Manager Pro (has a shared menu available in E'rage) but the slowness eventually returned. In fact I've got it again now as I've typed the last few words in the blind. Oh, and I've switched off spell checking for up to two days, hard for me as bad as I speel, but the slowdown came back anyway eventually. Weird.
