Do you have this key echo delay with other screen readers like NVDA and
System Access to Go? It might be worth trying one or both of these two free
screen readers to see whether you experience the same key echo delay problem
with them as you do with JAWS. This way, you can determine whether the key
echo delay is a JAWS problem only, or a more general hardware problem.

Thank you for your instructions! They sound very useful for speeding up my
computer. However, what I am particularly referring to, is the time delay
between pressing a letter key and hearing JAWS echo it. Sometimes, JAWS
seems to not even know that I have pressed a key.
I've cleaned my keyboard, with the compressed air and got a lot of dog
hair out of it. May be it's just wearing out?
I had thought that this was just a Jaws problem, but now, I'm not so sure.
Many thanks for any thoughts on this matter! Vicky

Do a scanDisk on both.
Just go to desk top, myComputer, hit enter. Now on the local drive hit
application key and chose properties...
Then do a control + tab and hit enter. Tab to fix drive and check. Then
ok your way out.
When you reboot it will do that job.
after that is done. Run defrag on the system, and disk clean up. You can
find that in accessories, system tools, disk clean up.
If you have a registry cleaner run it also.
Now your all clean.
Do a insert + f11, and see just what all is running.
For some you may have to go into control panel, task bar and startup
menu. Just un check hide icons and they will show all.
Stop all that don't need to run and then shut computer off and once off
restart it.
That will purge the memory and come up clean. Where a reboot will still
keep junk around.

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
