We all know that FullWrtie Professional (version 1.1) can be a slug
on large documents. (I was using it recently because I find it a lot
faster than Interleaf on an Apollo system at my client's).
However, on a 10 chapter, 70 page document, with 1.6 Meg of RAM to itself,
it gradually ate more and more memory (I was watching it with the
"About Finder" window). Now, I wasn't doing anything in FWP, my hands
weren't touching the keyboard or the mouse. The bar graph showed about
half of the memory taken, and then, over a period of about 3 minutes,
worked itself up to a notch from full usage.
Meanwhile, FWP said it had 80% of its memory free!
Does anyone have an explanation? a work-around? I especially disliked
how it lost characters as I was typing. Being slow is bad, loosing
keyboard input is inexcusable.
