I've read - perhaps in one of Charles Moore's Applelinks columns - that AppleWorks maintains a copy of every document you've ever created with it
Not true, sortof. :)
documents folder where you'll find an AppleWorks folder. Somewhere inside THAT folder (sorry I can't be specific: I'm on another computer at the moment which doesn't have AW) you'll find a "recent items" or "starting points" folder.
"Documents:AppleWorks User Data:AutoSave"; contains various saved versions of documents for which you have explicitly enabled auto-save. I believe AppleWorks flushes this folder periodically.
"Documents:AppleWorks User Data:Starting Points:Recent Items" contains a normal alias to every file you've ever opened with AW. Stupid that it doesn't flush this periodically. :\
Periodically trashing whatever you can from here can help a little.
I've seen a few instances where trashing the above folders improved AW launch time. Worth doing now and then, IMO.
