Increase the amount of physical ram installed on your system.
reduce the number of programs open simultaneously and running in the
background (a look in your system tray and in msconfig gives you
infomration on some of the background processes as does a look in task manager)
practice general good computer maintenance as in running chkdsk and
defrag on a regular basis. How often you need to defrag also depends
on what you do on your computer. If you do a lot of copying and
deleting, you need to defrag more often.
Maybe use a memory manager/memory defrag program though some will
argue on the usefulness of such a utility. I use Freeram XP Pro, a
free memory manager utility. YOu will need to google for its homepage
If available, use a hardware synthesizer such as aDECTAlk express or
Accent external. Many of these can be had used for cheap these days
as they require a legacy serial port on the computer used. Many will
work fine on a usb to serial adapter or you can put an expansion card
into your computer.

Hi folks, I'm using Jaws 11 on a laptop and desktop both using
Windows XP. On both of them, I can wait several seconds after I have
pressed a key, before Jaws either echoes it or responds to it.
Do any of you have any ideas as to how I can decrease the wait?
Many thanks for any suggestions! Vicky
