Kelly, I have not experienced all that you have, but I have found that if you are editing MP3 files, for example, that saving them to WAV files and working on those helps a lot with sluggishness. I know that Sound Forge up-converts other formats to a higher sampling rate, etc., but it seems that it tries to maintain some relationship with the original file unless you save the file in a more lossless format. Performing some operations, including saving at times, can take a couple of minutes. However, at least with Window-Eyes, I can find the line with the mouse pointer that provides the percentage that has been processed.
